SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 15th Sunday Ord
DESCRIPTION:THE PARABLE OF \nTHE GOOD SAMARITAN \nFrom a commentary by Origen of Alexandria \n◊◊◊ \nTo interpret the parable of the Good Samaritan\, one of the elders used to \nsay that the man going down from Jerusalem to Jericho was Adam. He said \nJerusalem was paradise\, Jericho was the world\, and the brigands were enemy \npowers. The priest was the law\, the Levite the prophets\, and the Samaritan \nChrist. Adam’s wounds were his disobedience\, the animal that carried him was \nthe body of the Lord\, and the “inn”\, open to all who wished to enter\, was the \nChurch. The two denarii represented the Father and the Son\, and the innkeeper \nwas the head of the Church\, who was entrusted with its administration. The \npromised return of the Samaritan was a figure of the second coming of the \nSavior. \nThe Samaritan was carrying oil – oil to make his face shine as Scripture \nsays\, referring surely to the face of the man he cared for. He cleansed the man’s \nwounds with oil to soothe the inflammation and with wine that made them \nsmart\, and then placed him on his own mount\, that is\, on his own body\, since he \nhad condescended to assume our humanity. This Samaritan bore our sins and \nsuffered on our behalf; he carried the half dead man to the inn which takes in \neveryone\, denying no one its help; in other words\, to the Church. To this inn \nJesus invites all when he says: Come to me\, all who labor and are \noverburdened\, and I will give you new strength. \nAfter bringing in the man half dead the Samaritan did not immediately \ndepart\, but remained and dressed his wounds by night as well as by day\, \nshowing his concern and doing everything he could for him. In the morning \nwhen he wished to set out again he took from his own purse silver coins\, from \nhis own sterling money\, two denarii to pay the innkeeper – clearly the angel of \nthe Church – and ordered him to nurse with all diligence and restore to health \nthe man whom for a short time he himself had personally tended. \nI think the two denarii stand for knowledge of the Father and the Son in \nthe Father. This was given to the angel as a recompense\, so that he would care \nmore diligently for the man entrusted to him. He was also promised that \nwhatever he spent of his own in healing him would be repaid. \nThis guardian of souls who showed mercy to the man who fell into the \nhands of robbers was a better neighbor to him than were either the law or the \nprophets\, and he proved this more by deeds than by words. Now the saying: Be \nimitators of me as I am of Christ makes it clear that we can imitate Christ by \nshowing mercy to those who have fallen into the hands of brigands. We can go to \nthem\, bandage their wounds after pouring in oil and wine\, place them on our \nown mount\, and bear their burdens. And so the Son of God exhorts us to do \nthese things\, in words addressed not only to the teacher of the law but to all of \nus: Go and do likewise. If we do\, we shall gain eternal life in Christ Jesus\, to \nwhom belongs glory and power for ever and ever.
