ST TURIBIUS OF MOGROVEJO, BISHOP
LENTEN WEEKDAY
Dn 13: 41-62
Ps 23: 1-6
Jn 8: 1-11
Holy conversations can become a true direction for souls. We can call to mind (Jesus') conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well in Sichem. He made His way in that ignorant soul, stained by sins, full of prejudices. He asked for drink and quenched her thirst with water springing up toward eternal life. He revealed the secrets of His heart and showed Himself as the Messiah. He reminded her of her scandals and made her an apostle (BM p. 329).

From Father Tom: Important point: "growing...in charity toward our neighbor." Sometimes we think the opposite: sanctity consists in many prayers, many "good works," many vigils and many mortifications. But nothing can beat bearing with those awful people we have to meet...and continue smiling.
