Fr. Andy reads from Luke 12:13-21, the Gospel reading for Sunday, August 3, 2025.

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.
