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.
