"The Good Samaritan in the parable (Luke 10:30-37) is Christ, and our interpretation hits the mark: Christ does not rebuke those who repent, nor does he ask them to do anything, but he goes to meet them in person right where they have fallen, bends over them with affection, washes and bandages his wound with his own wound, stops the bloodshed with the shedding of his own blood, pours the oil of his compassion and his life upon him, carries him in the arms of his mercy, offers him a ride to the inn of his church, asking his angels to serve him and spending his grace on him until he is healed."
