Where’s Jesus? He Thirsts for you! | Homily for 3rd Sunday of Lent | Fr. Will Rooney

Where’s Jesus been in your life this week? How are you doing in allowing him to teach you how to resist temptation like he taught in the Gospel 2 weeks ago? Are you thinking of heaven? What about sacrifice and glory? In this week’s message (only in audio), we find ourselves near a well in Samaria, longing for lasting joy. Often, we seek worldly pleasures to quench our thirst, forgetting that only Christ offers living water. Despite our misguided pursuits, He thirsts for our souls, offering fulfillment beyond earthly desires. As we hear His call, let us not harden our hearts, for He alone can satisfy our deepest longings.
