My dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

Does your hearts overflow with the Holy Spirit? Today, if you allow the Love of God to enter hearts, you can overflow with God's Love!  In a recent Gospel Reading, we read of the Samaritan Woman who had a conversation with the Lord at Jacob's Well. She lived a soiled life but yet Christ had compassion for her and her life changed, for she became a believer and a follower. Christ told this young Samaritan Woman that He is the "Living Water," the fountain, the source of life, for if you believe in Him, your life would overflow with His constant Love and Blessings. Many of us have polluted our souls with evil thoughts. Even in the world today, many rivers and streams are polluted with carbons and toxins from factories that seep chemicals.  Unfortunately, If we drink this water, we can get sick.  Even the EPA itself sets up purification plants around the country to remove toxic chemicals from rivers and streams that were once clean.  Well, its identical in a religious sense. We were born with a clean slate and then we pollute ourselves with so much toxic chemical, the toxcity of anger, hate, jealousy, greed, and being unforgiving that we need to clean ourselves up. We can remove the toxic wastes from our souls through prayer, and by coming to Church.  These toxins can destroy our relationship with God. In addition, God can quench not only our physical thirst but our spiritual thirst as well.  Do we thirst for the Kingdom of Heaven?  Some of us quench our physical thirst by drinking juice, by drinking water, and by drinking gatorade. But yet, don't we forget to quench our spiritual thirst? You can quench your spiritual thirst everyday through prayer and repentance. We as human beings have a tendency to be clean, and we even spend money to drink clean water.  Christ told us that we can drink clean, pristine water that overflows with His love, and this water is Christ Himself, the source of life, for He uses the analogy of water, for water to us is the source of life. By the way, this water is free!!! This pure water that Christ talks about is the fountain that can spring up to Eternal Life. As Christ told the Samaritan Woman, we can pray to Him in spirit and in truth, for we can pray to Christ any time of the day and anywhere, for He is Spirit, the fountain of life.
