A Message From Fr. Jose – 8th March

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
