Season of Mercy - Giving Drink to Your Soul


Finally Friday...you may be counting down the hours to a relaxing weekend or a weekend full of chores or plans with friends or maybe even work.

This weekend, take some time to further consider Frances' words from Wednesday. Reflect on how you can better connect with the life giving water offered by Christ - 

Spend time in scripture. Read the story of the Samaritan Woman at the Well, John 4. 4-42.
  • Where have you encountered Jesus recently?
  • What has offered your spirit sustenance this week?
  • How can you nourish your soul this weekend?
Spend time in your faith community.
  • When you come to Mass, get to know someone new in the community. Introduce yourself.
  • Challenge yourself to actively participate and pray the words of the Mass, not just intone long since memorized words.
  • Consider joining a parish activity during the week.
Growing in our faith journeys is difficult with the many demands on our time. It takes effort and the conscious choice to prioritize God and our spirit.

Share how you strengthen your connection to Christ's life-giving water in the comments section or via social media with the #SeasonOfMercy and tag Holy Name Cathedral.
