This was my takeaway as I looked down to the ancient “road” between Jerusalem and Jericho. The steep rocky walls of the valley and minimal vegetation wouldn’t allow one to pretend ignorance.

My thoughts continued… How many of my fellow pilgrims have, like me, been comfortably unaware of the plight of the Palestinian people?

Jesus tells his story – about three people who face the choice of helping a person in need or turning away – to teach us about neighbors and about love.
