"The Woman at the Well, Pt. 2" — 3rd Sun. of Lent, 3/12/23, 11am Mass

So many new insights, so little time! How could Fr. Chuck keep any one homily from being too long but also share with us the wealth of fresh ideas and inspiration he'd learned about St. John's account of Jesus and the Samaritan Woman at the Well? Well, he experimented with splitting the message over the weekend. People at the Saturday 4pm Vigil Mass heard (what turned into) Part 1; Sunday Mass goers, Part 2! This episode brings you what people heard at Sunday's 11 o'clock Mass. If you've landed here first without hearing Saturday's message, feel free to listen now to this one, of course. But you might want to start with Part 1 by going to the podcast's home page or by clicking HERE. The books that provided info for the homily (links will open new windows) 1. Reading the Gospel of John: An Introduction (Note: Fr. Chuck has only read this book's coverage of John 4: 5-42; he knows nothing about the author.); 2. Jesus through Middle Eastern Eyes (Hear comments about this book in Part 1). Catholic Mass Readings for the Third Sunday of Lent, March 12, 2023: Ex 17: 3-7; Ps 95: 1-2, 6-7, 8-9; Rom 5: 1-2, 5-8; John 4: 5-42.
