WASHINGTON (CNS) — Many Catholic and other faith leaders noted that the Gospel reading for July 14 — the day U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was to carry out deportation orders for some immigrants — was the parable of the good Samaritan from the Gospel of St. Luke.
The story admonishes people to put aside their differences and “help those who are in need of help,” such as the immigrants coming across the U.S.-Mexico border seeking asylum, faith leaders said.
