The parable of The Good Samaritan teaches us about the geographical landscapes, the role of the priest in the time as they have different roles today. The parable also talks about Samaritans and Levites. As Jesus was replying the Lawyers question, he said "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho," this teaches kids about the geographical landscape of the journey from Jerusalem to Jericho. The Priest in this story would have been Jewish as Jesus was Jewish. Jewish people did not have church but they had temples where they went to worship God. Levites were Priests as well however their main purpose was to educate people on the Torah which are the first 5 books of the Old Testament.

Growing up, Mary Mackillop would have been surrounded by religion and prayers as her father was a priest and she was close friends with many other important members of the Catholic Church. While we know she prayed and was very religious in her every day life, we don't know what exactly she did as a form of spiritual practice or what prayers she said. However, we do know that she had a lot of prayers written about her and for her after she died, as she inspired many people to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, and continue to help others in need.

God of the prophets you gifted Mary MacKillop with vision and courage.
In her we see one who was not afraid to speak fearlessly your gospel of love.
We pray for the sensitivity and imagination to read the signs of our times, and to articulate new possibilities for our own day. Like Mary, may we learn to confront all that is oppressive and unjust, and empower others towards true freedom and integrity. Spirit of wisdom, be with us as we face new horizons. Amen

God of all blessings, you revealed in Mary MacKillop a sensitivity to the rights and dignity of every person, regardless of race or creed. May we learn from her to overcome the obstacles of prejudice and fear. Help us to value the goodness of each person and all the blessings of unity in diversity.
We ask this through the depth and unity of you, our bountiful God, who hold all things in being. Amen

God of compassion, God of all people, we praise you for your servant, Mary MacKillop, who gave her life to serve you in the poor and oppressed.
As she is honoured in our world, may we continue to learn to share her vision.
Help us to recognise, as she did, that the poor of our time will hear the gospel in the way we serve them. Be with us as we strive to follow her and carry out our mission of service and care. Amen

Rerum Novarum - An encyclical about the rights and duties of those in the 19th century, written by Pope Leo XII in 1891. This would likely of inspired Mary Mackillop in her later life, because in it it talks about the right to be religiously respected, no matter the spot a person may hold in society. Mary Mackillop reinforced this in her life’s work by creating education that didn't cost anything, and had anything that Mary could supply it with. This proved that she strived for everyone to be equally treated, as having an education would later encourage someone’s respect.
