A Message From Fr. Jose – 8th March
Fr. Jose – Parish Priest
Dear family members and friends: Today’s Gospel narrates a beautiful instance of an encounter with Jesus. The Lord was wearied and thirsty and He asked the Samaritan woman to give him water to drink. Here actually He identifies with all who are thirsty. In the first reading we see the people of Israel grumbling against Moses because they were thirsty and had nothing to drink. It was an occasion for them to experience the salvific intervention of God among them. As we see in the Gospel, it was an occasion to find the Saviour not only for the Samaritan woman, but also for the people of her village. Let this season of Lent be an occasion for us to find the Saviour in our life. Let us thirst for the Lord to get the living water. Amen

Dear family members and friends: In today’s Gospel Acclamation we recite “From a bright cloud, the father’s voice was heard: “This is my beloved Son, listen to him.” This verse is taken from today’s Gospel passage where we read and reflect on the transfiguration of Jesus. There we see the glorified Jesus who appeared with Moses and Elijah as fulfilment of the Law and Prophets. What God the Father wants is to listen to Jesus. This season of Lent is an occasion to listen to Jesus and follow Him. In today’s first reading we read about God asking Abram to leave his country and go to where God shows him. Abram went as the Lord said to him. When we prayerfully listen to God, we will definitely receive God’s message for our life and we follow that it will be for our blessing as was promised to Abram. Amen

Dear family members and friends: “One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God”. As we have entered the season of Lent, let these words resound in our ears. Lent is a time to reflect more on God and on his love and mercy. There may be times of trials in our life. But it is the hand of God which always protects us and supports us. Today’s Gospel speaks about the three temptations that Jesus had to face in the wilderness. With the power he attained through prayer and fasting he could overcome all those. And Jesus teaches three main things: “Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God” “You shall not put the Lord your God to the test”, “You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.” Amen
