Word from the Pastor

We are invited to bring our thirst to God.
Exodus 17:3-7, Romans 5:1-2, 5-8, John 4:5-42Dear parish family,
Is the Lord in our midst or not?
As much as we may be tempted to look back on the Israelites and wonder at their doubt in our first reading, if any of us have ever been truly thirsty, we will be moved to greater empathy for their plight. There are few things more troubling than not having enough water. We can go some amount of time without food, but water is a very urgent human need. And so, confronted with the horrific reality of being in a desert with no water, wondering if God has abandoned them no longer feels so surprising.
