In the gospel story of the Good Samaritan, when Jesus asks “which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?” the scholar of the law answered, “the one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus then said, “Go and do likewise.” This week you can also “treat the poor with mercy” by placing a gift in the St. Vincent de Paul Poor Box.
