Who are the people we consider our own — and who gets left outside our circle of concern?

In Episode 110 of Brother from Another Father, I reflect on a moving encounter from Sebastian Junger’s book Tribe: a struggling stranger who gives away his lunch to a young hitchhiker, despite having very little himself. What makes someone feel responsible for the well-being of a person they have never met?

Our readings challenge us to widen our circle of concern beyond family, friends and those who are like us. Jesus takes this even further, teaching us that our neighbour is anyone in need whom we encounter along our way.

Perhaps the key is learning to recognise Christ in the poor, the refugee, the foreigner, the prisoner and the outcast — those whom society so often leaves on the margins.

The question is not simply who belongs to our tribe, but whether we are willing to make room for someone new.

God bless and have a good Sunday.
