Today’s<\/strong> Gospel reading from Luke<\/a> is one of the more recognizable passages in the New Testament – the story of the Good Samaritan. The following are the verses that preface the parable of the Good Samaritan:<\/p>\n

There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test Jesus and said,
\n\u201cTeacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?\u201d
\nJesus said to him, \u201cWhat is written in the law?
\nHow do you read it?\u201d
\nHe said in reply,
\n\u201cYou shall love the Lord, your God,<\/strong>
\n with all your heart,<\/strong>
\n with all your being,<\/strong>
\n with all your strength,<\/strong>
\n and with all your mind,<\/strong>
\nand your neighbor as yourself.\u201d<\/strong>
\nHe replied to him, \u201cYou have answered correctly;
\ndo this and you will live.\u201d<\/p>\n

– Luke 10: 25-28<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What another great way to remember participate in Respect Life month!<\/p>\n

On October 4th Pope Francis met with young adults and teenagers where he encouraged young people to have the “courage to get married” in a world that touts individual rights and sometimes abandons things when they get difficult instead of sticking them out.<\/p>\n

Pope Francis has once again reminded us that Christian marriage is a “real vocation,<\/strong> just like priesthood and religious life are. Two Christians who marry each other have recognized in their love story the Lord’s call, the vocation to form one flesh, one life from the two, male and female.”<\/p>\n

And regardless of whether or not our vocation is to marriage, become a part of a religious order to remain single, we must always root the discernment of our vocations through regular prayer. Through this we deepen our familiar relationship with the Lord and keep the window of our life open so that we can hear his voice and what he is calling us towards.<\/p>\n

We are special. We, as Christians, are growing and renewing the church everyday. Each and every one of us has a place in the responsibility to evangelize. Pope Francis echoed those sentiments when he said that, “carrying the Gospel with the witness of our lives transforms the world.”<\/p>\n
