Becoming the Neighbor: Mercy in Motion | The Rev. Edmund Harris | July 13, 2025

“What must I do to inherit eternal life?” asks the lawyer in Luke 10. Jesus doesn’t just answer—he reframes the question entirely. In this powerful sermon from Father Edmund,, we revisit the story of the Good Samaritan not as a lesson in morality, but as a call to radical empathy and action. True neighborliness, he reminds us, is inconvenient, disruptive, and deeply embodied. The Good Samaritan doesn’t just feel pity—he crosses the road, touches wounds, and offers his life’s resources. In a time of great suffering and social fragmentation, this message is not just relevant—it’s urgent.
