Is neighbor a noun or a verb? with Ann M. Garrido

Preaching for the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Ann M. Garrido leads us through an imaginative retelling of the parable of the Good Samaritan and helps us reflect on being neighbors:

"Is neighbor a noun or a verb? Is it someone you live near…or someone who draws near when you need them? Is neighbor something you have or something you do?”

Ann Garrido is associate professor of homiletics at Aquinas Institute of Theology in St. Louis, MO. While her first passion is teaching, Garrido has also served the school in a number of administrative roles including (at varying points in time) as Director of the Doctorate of Ministry in Preaching, Director of MAPS Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Director of Field Education, Director of Distance Learning, and Director of the Aquinas Ministry Integration Project. Most recently, Garrido served as the Marten Fellow in Preaching at the University of Notre Dame. She preaches each month for the Dominican website Word.op.org and is the author of numerous books.
