Dear catechumens, you see what is going on in this Gospel: the Samaritan woman experiences purification and enlightenment at a well, a well which stands for the baptismal font, that flowing fountain at which you are soon to be cleansed and reborn.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Institution of Lectors, Permanent Diaconate, 2nd Saturday of Lent

Dear brothers, on this day when you are instituted as lectors, taking a step closer to your diaconal ordination, I invite you to reflect on the importance of listening to the voice of the Lord. For how we listen to the Word of God will shape how we proclaim it.
