Reflection

When you are tempted to try to satisfy your “thirst for meaning” through some other means, what keeps you coming back to the living water of intimacy with Christ?

Through what means do you experience Christ’s power in your life?

80 South Market Street, San José, CA 95113-2321 ◆ 408-283-8100 ◆ www.stjosephcathedral.org ,

A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink." The Samaritan woman said to him,

"How can you, a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?" Jesus answered and said to her,

"If you knew the gift of God and who is saying to you, 'Give me a drink, ' you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."

The woman said, "Sir, you do not even have a bucket and the cistern is deep; where then can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob?

Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again; but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give

will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." Many of the Samaritans of that town began to believe in him.

and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe because of your word;

we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the savior of the world.”

John 4: 5-42

This appeal is a Diocesan-wide collaboration that supports the common services and programs that assist all 53 parishes and missions in the Diocese of San Jose. This year, the theme is Hand in Hand In Ministry. As members of Christ and his Church we are connected to one another—parishioner to paris-hioner, family to family and parish to parish. Our gifts are to be given in gratitude for what God has entrusted to us. A gift/pledge to the Annual Dioce-san Appeal will help the work of our local Church to grow and flourish through our Santa Clara County diocesan faith community. Also, when our parish reaches its goal of $137,000 in cash, 100% of addi-tional funds received will be returned to St. Joseph’s for use in our parish. Each household taking part in the campaign helps the Cathedral parish reach its goal toward funding education, training and service to the faithful of our Diocese. Please reflect upon your blessings and in gratitude, consider a pledge to the 2019 Annual Diocesan Appeal. There are pledge packets available in the vestibule for your convenien-ce if you did not receive one in the mail. Thank you.

The initial conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman is better under-stood if we consider the importance of water, especially in the climate of Israel. At first, the woman understands Jesus’ promise of “living water” in a literal

sense: “Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.” With no running water, the daily trip to the well by the women of the community was of paramount importance. The women of the town would have traveled to the well in the early morning, but this woman came to the well at noon, the hottest time of the day. The timing of her visit is a clear sign that she is an outcast within the Samaritan community. We learn in her conversation with Jesus that she is an outcast because of her “many husbands.” Behind the conversation lies the animosity and rivalry between the Jews and the Samaritans. Samaritans shared Jewish ancestry, but Samaritans had intermarried with foreigners when they lived under the rule of the Assyri-ans. Samaritan religion included worship of Yahweh, but was also influenced by the worship of other gods. When the Jews refused Samaritan help in the building of the Temple at Jerusalem, the Samaritans eventually built a temple for themselves at Mt. Gerizim (the same moun-tain mentioned by the woman at the well). Like the Jews, the Samaritans believed that a Messiah would come. The high point of the conversation is when Jesus reveals himself to her as the Messiah. His answer to the Samaritan woman’s questions about worship is meant to predict a time when worshiping in truth and spirit will become the way to worship. After the conversation, the Samaritan woman becomes a disciple. Even though she is an outcast and not a Jew, she returns to her town to lead others to Jesus and to wonder whether she has found the Messiah. The Samaritan townspeople return with her to meet Jesus for themselves, and many are said to come to believe in him. Loyola Press

S aint of the Week Saint Oscar Arnulfo Romero August 15, 1917 – March 24, 1980 The night before he was murdered while celebrating Mass, Archbishop Oscar

Romero of San Salvador said on the radio: “I would like to appeal in a special way to the men of the army, and in particular to the troops of the National Guard, the police, and the garrisons. Brothers, you belong to our own people. You kill your own brother peasants; and in the face of an order to kill that is given by a man, the law of God that says ‘Do not kill!’ should prevail. No soldier is obliged to obey an order counter to the law of God. No one has to comply with an immoral law. It is the time now that you recover your conscience and obey its dictates rather than the command of sin. . . . Therefore, in the name of God, and in the name of this long-suffering people, whose laments rise to heaven every day more tumul-tuous, I beseech you, I beg you, I command you! In the name of God: ‘Cease the repres-sion!’” With this, Romero had eloquently upheld the gospel and effectively signed his own death warrant. Three weeks after his appointment as archbishop of San Salvador in 1977, Romero was shaken by the murder of his good friend Jesuit Father Rutilio Grande, a vigorous defender of the rights of the poor. Five more priests were assassinated in the Archdiocese of San Salvador during Romero’s years as its shepherd. When a military junta seized control of the national government in 1979, Archbishop Romero publicly criticized the US government for backing the junta. His weekly radio sermons, broadcast throughout the country, were regarded by many as the most trustworthy source of news available. Romero’s funeral was celebrated in the plaza outside the cathedral and drew an estimated 250,000 mourners. On February 3, 2015, Pope Francis authorized a decree recognizing Oscar Romero as a martyr for the faith. His beatification took place in San Salvador on May 23, 2015. He was canonized on October 14, 2018 by Pope Francis.
