The Good Samaritan Jerusalem to Jericho – 15 miles straight line, but the road is not a straight line ..winds through such a landscape

The Good Samaritan Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion, and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, `Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.' Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbour to the man who fell among the robbers?" He said, "The one who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise." (Luke 10: 29 – 37)

Partnering the Poor Pri rinc ncipl iples es of S of Ser ervic vice

Partnering the Poor Fun undame amenta ntal Dignity of the human person made in the image of God  The human person …unique of all God’s Creation …to know and love God…and share in God’s life.  Recognises the inherent qualities of a human person as the resource

1. Serving in a manner that upholds dignity - The design and provision of services and all processes involved should be done or organised in a way that upholds the dignity of those being served. People providing such services must not be patronising or condescending and those being served should not be made to feel as if people are doing them a favour.

Catholic Social Teaching  The Dignity of the Human Person is basic  A “brother’s keeper” because God entrust us to each other.

In Practice  The person is treated as an individual , as an end and never as a means in our work. It is to look at the person first and then the problem(s) he/she has.  The person’s dignity as a human person takes precedence over our work processes .

2. Choice and Participation – Those being served and/or their families or caregivers should have a choice of services that they will receive …and participate in making that choice with the relevant information.

Catholic Social Teaching  Free choice inherent in human nature. Freedom to choose the good, and responsibility for the choice made.  The human person has a right to participate in any decision that affects him/her .

In Practice  The person can choose to be helped , and in what ways to be helped. He/She has to be co-responsible .  The person and family members/caregivers are encouraged to participate in discussing the services .

3 . Personal and Family Responsibility – Those being served and/or their families or caregivers should tap on their resources and strengths where possible …and take responsibility for the outcome of services that they seek and receive.

Catholic Social Teaching  Freedom includes rights and responsibility for himself/herself to shape his/her own life.  Family responsibility - as the family is central to every person.
