Page 2 Fr. Hieu’s Message
The Lord will give us the Water of life
We are living in the desert and we need water. Without water we can't survive and without water, nothing can grow.
Similar to the Israelites, we are looking for water in life, the water that would satisfy our thirst and water that would keep us alive. However, today's Readings and Gospel tell us otherwise. Jesus gave the Samaritan woman water that not only quenched her thirst, or kept her alive, but He gave her the Water that gives life . . . life in abundance.
I really like Cycle A because in Cycle A we have an opportunity to listen to the Gospel according to St. John. What is so special about St. John's Gospel? It gives us a profound theology and understanding of how God touches us and how God intervenes in our lives.
How has God touched and intervened in your life, what else are you asking God for yourself at this moment, beside the water that quenches your thirst?
God bless, Fr. Hieu
El Señor nos dará Agua de Vida
Vivimos en el desierto y necesitamos el agua. Sin agua no podemos sobrevivir, sin agua nada puede crecer.
De manera similar a los hijos de Israel, nosotros estamos buscando agua en la vida, el agua que podría satisfacer la sed y el agua que nos mantendría con vida. Sin embargo, las Lecturas de hoy y el Evangelio nos dicen lo contrario. Jesús da el agua a la Samaritana que, no sólo sacia su sed, sino que la mantiene con vida: le dio el Agua que da vida y vida en abundancia.
Me gusta mucho el Ciclo A debido a que en el Ciclo A, tenemos la oportunidad de escuchar el Evan-gelio según San Juan. ¿Qué es tan especial en el Evangelio de San Juan? Nos da una profunda teología y una comprensión de cómo Dios nos toca y cómo Dios interviene en nuestras vidas.
¿Cómo Dios ha tocado e intervino en tu vida?, ¿qué estás pidiendo a Dios por sí mismo en este mo-mento, acerca del agua que sacia tu sed?
Dios los bendiga, Padre Hieu

Thirsting for Life-Giving Waters Especially during the Lenten, Holy Week, and Easter seasons, the prayer texts of the Eastern Church revel in paradoxical images of Christ: the eternal life who is put to death, the host of the supper who is also its meal, the thirsty cru-cified one with living water streaming from his side. These images flow from the evangelists' portrayals of Jesus and from his very ministry, during which he often upset or reversed people's expectations about him or the ways of God. This "reversal" is at play in today's Gospel, as Jesus speaks to an enemy foreign-er who is also a woman beneath his status. In addition he, the thirsting one, shows the woman to be the one truly thirsting. He--whose parched lips will say "I thirst" before he dies--is the source of life and life-giving water. Lent calls upon us to dwell on how each of us is thirsting for Christ, and it leads us, ulti-mately, back to the life-giving waters of our baptism into his Body.
