Third
Sunday of Lent
The
woman said to Him, "Sir, give me
this water,
that I may never be thirsty or have to
keep coming here to draw water." - John 4:15
that I may never be thirsty or have to
keep coming here to draw water." - John 4:15
"Hence the loftier were the words of the Son of God, the more tasteless they were to the impure, as happened when he preached the sovereign and loving doctrine of the Holy Eucharist; for many turned away (Jn 6:60-61, 67).
Those who do not relish this
language God speaks
within them must not think on this account that others do not taste it; St Peter
tasted it in his soul when he said to Christ: Lord, where shall we go; You have the
words of eternal life (Jn 6:68).
And the Samaritan woman forgot the water pot because of the sweetness of God's
words (Jn 4:28)."
Prayer
After Communion (Today’s
Liturgy)
As we receive the pledge
of things yet hidden in heaven
and are nourished while still on earth
with the Bread that comes from on high,
we humbly entreat you, O Lord.
that what is being brought about in us in mystery
may come to true completion.
Through Christ our Lord.
