March 15th, 2020

3rd Sunday of Lent

We give the definition of ourselves over to so many things.

We allow our society, friends, family, work, social groups,

ethnicity, and even institutions define, classify, and color

how we perceive ourselves. When we listen predominantly

to the voices of others, we lose touch with what is

happening within our own inner voice. If we listen carefully

within, we can easily discover that we are in want and need.

We know our incompleteness and also know that loneliness,

sadness, and self-images can propel us outward in attempts

to fill those gaps. We can become not only victims of our

own prejudices but can find ourselves overly self-indulgent

in things that can only satisfy for a short time, if at all. It is

no wonder that money and power are things that are so

fervently sought after. As long as we can keep a steady

supply going, the illusion of fulfillment and satisfaction can

falsely persuade us as craftily as a master magician’s act.

We live with illusions not truth. It is no wonder, then, that

some of the wealthiest folks are also really the unhappiest.

Whether we admit it, the lies we live and pursue will

ultimately expose our superficiality. We all have to wrestle

with who we are and what gives our lives purpose and

meaning. Learn to listen more deeply, not to what others are

saying about you, but to what God is echoing in your heart.

We can easily get confused and misunderstand, not only

about who we are but who God is. Even the disciples and

the Samaritan woman at the well missed the point Jesus was

trying to make. There is only one Person who can satisfy

the deepest yearnings and longings of our hearts — Jesus

the Messiah. It is not the work of corporate America that

will lead us to happiness or greatness but the work of the

soul. We continue to resist acknowledging this and are

happier in our world of misunderstanding and illusion. The

life-giving water we truly need doesn’t come from the

source of a well but from the Source of Life. Only God can

reveal the truth of our sinfulness, the superficiality of our

pursuits, and the illusions we hold so dear. Only Jesus can

save us from ourselves and give us what we really need. If

only our heads can catch up with where our hearts know

they need to be, then will we find real contentment and life!

*******FLU SEASON******** The Diocese has asked all its churches to not shake hands during the sign of peace at mass. The number of flu cases are way up this year. The Hands are the way that the flu is most transmitted to others. A wave , a smile, a bow or a thumbs up can be a symbol for wishing others peace. Use your imagination. Thank you.

St. Andrew’s Food Pantry Great time to give to others. Food Pantry accepting non perishable food items and personal care items. We currently have plenty of tuna, dry pasta and green beans. Basket at back of church to place items in. Thank you and God Bless for all your support.
