Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermon: Delivered in St. George´s Catholic Church, Southwark, on Sunday Morning, Aug; 11th;, 1850 "But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus, - and who is my neighbour?" - Lake x. 29. These words are from the 10th Chapter of the Gospel of St. Luke, read in the Office of this Sunday. The answer to this question, my Brethren, appears to us now so natural and so simple, that we feel almost indignant at him who could thus interrogate the Son of God; and yet, when that question was put, there was but one upon earth who was capable of answering it. Had it been placed before the greatest of heathen sages, connected with the precept which has been just recited from the Old Law, he would have known no meaning that he could apply to the word concerning which information is asked, beyond its crude and literal meaning, which would not seem, even to him, to establish the commonest claim to affection. "Who is my neighbour?" he would ask. It may be, perhaps, he who lives in my immediate vicinity. It may mean one with whom I am in some way connected by ties of citizenship; but beyond some such narrow limit as this he could have no idea of what was meant by "neighbour," in a Christian sense, who was to be loved as we love ourselves.
