INTRODUCTION

Before you begin with your module, you are invited to have a moment of silence for
1 minute and pray silently this invocation:

I will thank the Lord with all my heart

In the meeting of the just and their assembly

Great are the works of the Lord to be pondered by all who love them.

Majestic and Glorious His work; His justice stands firm forever. He makes us
remember His wonders.

The Lord is compassion and love.

All: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning is now and will be forever. Amen

give me light and understanding. Holy Spirit, be present with me.

Taking the Right Path

Sacred Scripture

The Parable of the Good Samaritan ~ Luke 10:29-37

This parable is unique from the Gospel of Luke, who places it during the
journey of Jesus to Galilee to Jerusalem after the mission of the 72 disciples. The time
was drawing near for His arrest, answering the query of a Lawyer, “Who is my
neighbour”? Jesus told the parable of the Good Samaritan.

DISCUSSION …..

Jesus has given us two greatest commandments:

1. Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, all of your soul, all of your mind and all of
your strength.
2. Love your neighbour as you love yourself.
( Read Matthew -22:34-40 in your bible)
 ~ Jesus’ parable unveils the reality of what it means to act neighbourly.

~ Jesus stressed directly the relationship between the love of God and the love of

Neighbour.

~ Jesus brought together two well known laws from the Old Testament.

~ Love for our God, as Jesus said, should be qualified as total, involving our

whole heart, soul and mind.

~ Jesus’ words also taught us how to pray.

~ The “Our Father” expresses our living out of the Beatitudes, the

Commandments, and the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit.

~ The people referred to as your “kapwa”

~ The influences of your kapwa in intellectual, social, intellectual, spiritual and

Political aspects.

INTEGRATING VALUES

Loving Yourself and Others Through Pakikipagkapwa

A good relationship with other people is one thing to which Filipinos give
so much importance. Filipinos are well known for pakikipagkapwa and this
considers as one of their strengths. You may recall that pakikipagkapwa is a
concept that refers to relationships with people in a society. A society consists of
several people that are connected by their needs. All these people can be considered
as neighbors.

CHURCH TEACHING:

“Christ’s typical method of communicating His word about the kingdom was by
telling stories, parables. In them He focused on the common life of His listeners,
and drew them into recognizing God’s presence therein. Jesus taught the people
that God was their father, not in competition with them; that He was not calling
them out of their humanity, but rather making their own creative human efforts
possible by His divine presence.”
