Fr. Tyler Mentzer invites us to enter the same thirst that filled the heart of St. Teresa of Jesus — a thirst that only Christ can satisfy. When Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well, He revealed Himself as the Bridegroom of souls, drawing her from earthly longing to the eternal spring of divine love. “Whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst” (John 4:14). This is not poetic language—it is the invitation of the living God to each of us.

Father Anthony reflects on Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a humble donkey, revealing how true kingship is crowned not with power, but with gentleness and peace. He shows how Jesus enters the city—and our lives—not to crush enemies, but to carry our burdens and fulfill God’s promises of mercy. The crowd’s palm branches and shouts of “Hosanna” become a living sign of every heart that dares to welcome Christ as Lord.

Father Anthony reminds us that God has to restore order and justice, but He is a merciful God who does not remain angry.
