In a simple small grant for a daily Mass, I thought that made me a smile but also a good reflection. There
propose that part, so funny and true.
[Readings: Jonah and his "landing" - the Good Samaritan]
[the great fish of Jonah and the Samaritan] shown to have "compassion" (Luke 10:37) that neither "the sailors afraid "(Jn 1:5) or" the priest "(Lk 10:31) nor" the Levite "(Luke 10:32) are able to manifest it too much taken from the store's own life and in the case cited by Lord Jesus, not to jeopardize their ritual purity. Instead
good whale and the Good Samaritan know stop for a moment on their journey and take "care of him" (Luke 10:35). Both the whale that the Samaritan, in reality, do not change their lives since the first "after three days and three nights" (John 2:11) gets rid of the weight maybe a little 'indigestible of Jonah and the Good Samaritan, already "the next day " (Luke 10:35) resumed his way. But if neither the whale or the Samaritan hnno changed their lives, both the first and the second - on their willingness to spend some 'time - have literally saved the life of Jonah and the man who "went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among robbers who stripped him, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead "(Luke 10:30).
An excellent way to describe what happens to Jonah and "threw him into the sea" (John 1.15) in free-fall into the "abyss, in the heart of the sea" (John 2:4). And who of us, just and only because of the human condition is not always on the way to a road that goes down, sometimes in a terrible way to feel "that undermines the life" (John 2:8)?
To the extent that we acknowledge that we go down "that road" (Luke 10:31) we can only make us neighbors, let us "others" (Luke 10:36) to "bind up the wounds" (Luke 10:33) of 'and another, just as we are doing, feel that pours out a balm on the wounds that we carry within ourselves and in our hearts. It is not that difficult "to inherit eternal life" (Luke 10:25)! Just look at "the Act" (Luke 10.26) of the life to which we subject all of them: "Take care of him" (Luke 10:35). Every time we take care, in reality, we are merely being faithful to our hearts and, inevitably, we also take care of ourselves. The Lord Jesus gave us the example and we also give the command: 'Go and also do likewise "(Luke 10:37) ... in one word: be a good and nice and not a whale shark.
