The Good Samaritan in the Mirror

Jul 13, 2025 • Karlie Keller

Seminarian Karlie Keller reflects on the parable of the Good Samaritan and the command to love God and neighbor, asking where we see ourselves in the story. She explores Jesus as the true Samaritan, moving toward us with gut-level compassion, binding our wounds, and entrusting us to the Church, the inn where we receive care through the sacraments. As modern innkeepers, Karlie reminds us, we are called to tend the hurting around us until Christ returns. When we show mercy, we not only love our neighbors, we love Jesus himself.
