Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

Acting with mercy

Reading I: Deuteronomy 30:10–14 (God’s command clear)
Reading II: Colossians 1:15–20 (Christ’s fullness and reconciliation)
Gospel: Luke 10:25–37 (the good Samaritan)

Key Passage: But a Samaritan while traveling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. (Luke 10:33–34)

Adult: When have you gone out of your way to help a stranger in need?
Child: Would you help a new student who needed help? Why or why not?
