Inspiration to Start the Work Week

The Well of wonders came to the well, to salvage the daughter of Eve. It was about the sixth hour, the same time of day that Eve had exited Paradise, beguiled by the serpent. So the woman of Samaria came to draw water. Seeing her, the Savior said to her, “Give me a drink of water, and I will fill you with water welling up to eternal life.” Then that wise woman ran back to the city, and she said to the people at once, “Come and see Christ the Lord, the Savior of our souls!”

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

Christ is Risen!

 Sunday's gospel of the Samaritan Woman reminds us that Jesus is always drawing near to us. It is up to us to spend time with him and to open our hearts to him. He knows everything about us and he wants us to put aside those things that keep us from him, so that we can fully embrace him. This is what St. Photini did. She was so moved by Jesus that she was not ashamed of her sins, but ran to others and encouraged them to come to see the man that told her everything that she ever did!

May we start this work week remembering that Jesus is the well from which we must drink each day to be filled with what we need to receive eternal life. In so doing, we will also have more than we need to meet the challenges that each day brings.

Love our risen Lord,
Fr. Paul
