Msgr Pope ping
Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting!
Msgr. Pope is a breath of fresh air. His homilies are very edifying.
I went to church yesterday (Sunday) and the woman deacon spoke on this passage. She claimed the woman at the well was flirting with the Lord Jesus! Can you imagine?
I tell you, if Msgr. Pope was the priest in my town, I’d be a Catholic in a heartbeat.
I love this Gospel story. And I love Msgr Pope. Our priest yesterday pointed out one of element that I had never thought of - in a desert, people go to the well in the morning and in the evening, not at noon. Why did she go then? Was she avoiding someone? Did the villagers deny her access at the more pleasant times of the day? I also focused on the fact that Jesus was thirsty and asked her for water. Why? One of Blessed Mother Teresa’s teachings was that Jesus thirsts for our love, our souls.
Ping!
