The Parable of the Good Samaritan Explained by the Fathers of the Church

About this sermon

In this powerful sermon, we explore the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37) in the light of the Church Fathers, Doctors, and Saints. More than just a call to help our neighbor, this parable reveals the deeper mystery of Christ as the Good Samaritan, Adam as fallen man, and the Church as the inn where healing is found. You will discover: Why Jerusalem represents Heaven and Jericho represents the fallen world. How the wounded man is Adam (and all of us) suffering from original sin. Why the Old Law and the prophets (the priest and the Levite) could not save mankind. How Christ alone heals through His Body, Blood, and the Sacraments. Why the Catholic Church is the “inn” where sinners find healing and grace. The eternal importance of staying with the Good Samaritan until the end. The Fathers remind us that without Christ, we remain half-dead in sin—but with Him, we are restored to life and led back to the New Jerusalem. 🙏 Timestamps 0:00 – The Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37) 1:00 – Warnings Against Private Interpretation of Scripture 4:00 – Geography and Symbolism: Jerusalem vs. Jericho 6:30 – Who is the Wounded Man?
