Good Morning!
Fred Rogers, host of the long-running children’s show, Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, died in 2003. He was well known to children and their parents as a kind and gentle person who genuinely believed that each person is special, deep inside, just the way they are. Because Mr. Rogers recognized the value of each person, he believed in being a good neighbor to all.
When Jesus was asked, “Who is my neighbor?” he told the parable of the Good Samaritan. At the conclusion, the Lord asked, “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?” The answer? He who showed mercy on him.
Who in our neighborhood needs a kind word or an act of friendship today? Jesus calls us to show love and compassion to others as we love God with all our heart and our neighbor as ourselves.
