the good Samaritan

Our priest for today's misa de gallo was Fr. Mike Castillo.

Before the mass ended, he said that he was a good Samaritan
as he came from Samar. Of course, it was a joke as a person from
Samar is Samareño. He must have forgotten that he also said it last
year.

If my memory was right, this was the third consecutive year
that he celebrated mass in our parish. I remember him well because
the first time I heard him, I thought that this was one priest who
experienced first hand in daily doses the tug of war between good and
evil. He was and is still the chaplain of the Western Police
District.
