THE GOOD SAMARITAN LEAVES HIS PATH TO HELP THE SUFFERING MAN The Good Samaritan is a parable from the Bible. The Good Samaritan, who leaves his path to come to the aid of suffering man (cf. Lk 10:30-37) is the image of Jesus Christ who encounters man in need of salvation and heals his wounds and his pains with "the oil of consolation and the wine of hope." He is the physician of souls and bodies and "the faithful witness" (Rev 3:14) of God's saving presence in the world. But how can this message be realized today? How to translate it into a capacity to accompany the sick person in the terminal phases of life, in such a way as to assist him while always respecting and promoting his inalienable human dignity, his call to holiness and, therefore, the value supreme of its very existence?
