Evening: Psalm 103; Luke 10:25-37
Paradoxically, human life gets lonelier the more people there are. In the UK recently, where the population is nearly twice that of Canada, I found people often pass by without saying hello. Jesus’s call to love our neighbour does extend to all. But it’s helpful to realize that you can only relate in this moment to the person next to you … so you show mercy to them for now, then to the next one, one at a time - it doesn’t have to be all at once. Love and mercy begin with the person next to you.
