Gospel : Luke 10:25-37

25
  Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

26
  He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"

27
  He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind;* and your neighbor as yourself."

28
  He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."

29
  But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?"

30
  Jesus answered, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31
By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32
In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

33
But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,

34
came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35
On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the host, and said to him, 'Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.'

36
Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?"

37
  He said, "He who showed mercy on him."

 Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

Deuteronomy 30:10-14

10
  if you will obey the LORD your God's voice, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, if you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

11
  For this commandment which I command you today is not too hard for you or too distant.

12
It is not in heaven, that you should say, "Who will go up for us to heaven, bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may do it?"

13
Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, "Who will go over the sea for us, bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may do it?"

14
But the word is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.

Colossians 1:15-20

15
  He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

16
For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.

17
He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

18
He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.

19
For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,

20
and through him to reconcile all things to himself by him, whether things on the earth or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.
