This parable is only recorded in the Gospel of St. Luke. I have a lot to share on this Gospel but I will try and contain the excitement. Let us begin by looking at the concern of the lawyer who came to Jesus. He asked, “Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” There is an important message for us here – we may want to ask ourselves, “What am I most…
