The whole story with the woman at the well is one

The whole story with the woman at the well is one of redemption. Once an outcast, then healed by Jesus, she evangelizes and is now accepted and heard by her community. ⁠
⁠
Ask God who in your life might be yearning for community and then offer them an invitation. If it is you who needs community, talk to your loving Father about what may need to be healed and ask for the courage to seek out community. ⁠

Today’s feast day celebrates St. Margaret Mary,

Today’s feast day celebrates St. Margaret Mary, who is known for her devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Christ revealed to her that His human heart was to be the symbol of his Divine Love for us. At school Mass today, Father asked the kids if anyone has experienced anxiety, was scared, or ever fearful and wished it would all go away.

He then said, “We all have what we need for it to go away and that is to rest our ear on the heart of Jesus. As you hear the beats of His heart, you will hear....I love you....I choose you....I’m with you.....I love you....I choose you...I’m with you.”

May we all press our ear to the heart of Jesus today and remember....I love you....I choose you....I’m with you.

St. Margaret Mary, pray for us!

"Christ has no body but yours,⁠
⁠
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,⁠
Yours are the eyes with which He looks⁠
Compassion on this world,⁠
Yours are the feet with which He walks to do good,⁠
Yours are the hands, with which He blesses all the world.⁠
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet,⁠
Yours are the eyes, you are His body.⁠
Christ has no body now but yours,⁠
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,⁠
Yours are the eyes with which he looks⁠
compassion on this world.⁠
Christ has no body now on earth but yours."⁠
— St. Teresa of Ávila (attributed)
