Sermon: Jesus, the Good Samaritan

Sunday November 13th was the 8th Sunday of Luke, but also the feast day of St. John Chrysostom. The conjunction of Chrysostom’s memory with the Gospel reading of the Parable of the Good Samaritan was too powerful and suggestive to miss. The sermon capitalized on the conjunction! The text of the sermon is not given, because it is not complete, but the audio of the sermon is available below.

The icon gallery below is a good example of references made in the sermon about the iconographic representation of the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Note how the many events of the parable are juxtaposed in a single icon.
