FR TOM WRITES
This Sunday’s Gospel of the Good Samaritan should always pose a serious question to our own attitudes and behaviours in front of those we see suffering around us. The call to serve the poor and the sick is one that has been taken up by a number of significant saints, such as St Vincent de Paul, St Mother Teresa and  St Francis of Assisi who stated, "When one serves the poor, he serves Christ Himself." Many times we do not know how to become saints or think it is something very complicated. This week let us return to simplicity and can begin by asking the God to enlighten our eyes, that we may see Christ in those around us.
