Father Anthony reflects on the startling tenderness of the Gospel in John 4, where Jesus waits at Jacob’s well and speaks to a Samaritan woman—crossing boundaries of history, prejudice, and shame with the simple request, “Give me a drink.” He explores how Christ does not approach her as a case to be judged, but as a soul to be known—thirst meeting Thirst, loneliness met by the steady gaze of mercy.

Father Anthony encourages us to call on God’s grace when we are lost and He will heal us and take care of us.

This week, Fr. Anthony encourages us to develop a habit of prayer this Lent, as prayer is the oxygen for the soul.
