The Woman at the Well (3rd Sunday of Lent)
St Joseph (March 19)
St Patrick (March 17)
"For her part the Samaritan woman represents the existential unhappiness of those who have not found what they are looking for: She had 'five husbands' and is now living with a man; her coming and going to the well represents a repetitive and resigned life. But everything changes for her that day, on account of her conversation with the Lord Jesus, who shakes her up so much that she leaves the water jar and runs to tell the people of the village: 'Come and see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ' (John 4:28-29)?" (Benedict XVI, 2/24/08)
