Dear Parishioners of SJW:
Welcome to the 3rd Sunday/Week of Lent! How did this past week go for you as to reforming and renewing your spiritual life? These glorious days of Lent are given to us so that we can emerge come Holy Week and Easter as new creations in the sight of our Lord. Let us keep trying to be faithful to our Lenten resolutions that we made weeks ago on Ash Wednesday.
In the Gospel for the 3rd Sunday of Lent, we have Jesus meeting the woman of Samaria at the well. Their interchange is the highlight of the scene. Jesus calls her to thirst for God, for faith, for refreshment. He is asking her to drink of His Presence, His salvation, His invitation to eternal life.
As we journey this week, let us thirst more and more for Jesus Christ. Let us drink in His Presence day after day. Let us find our relief in following Him, so that one day we can immerse ourselves in the freshness of eternal life.
T Do we give ourselves TOTALLY to the Lord?
H Do we open our HEART to change?
I How do we IMITATE the love of Jesus?
R How much REVERENCE do we have in our life?
S Do we SAVOR the Eucharist more and more?
T Do we take TIME to be with Jesus in the silence of our hearts?
May we have always a thirsting to be the best Catholics. May we continue to feel those life-giving waters of our baptism. May we wash away all that stains our relationship with Jesus Christ.
Your Lenten Pastor,
Father Joe
