Third Sunday of Lent

St. Joseph Church,

7240 W. 57th St., Summit, Illinois 60501-1324

Jesus and the Woman of Samaria “The Jewish People were waiting for a new

marriage covenant with God.”

On this Third Sunday of Lent, in Year A, we read the Gospel story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. If we are not familiar with the Old Testament, we miss the significance and meaning of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well. Dr. Brant Pitre is an excellent good Catholic Biblical scholar and author. Recently, I read some of Dr. Pitre’s work, particularly as it relates to this week’s Gospel. The fact that Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at a well is very important. For those who are not too familiar with Old Testament stories, the special significance of women and wells eludes us. First, in Genesis 24, Abraham’s servant meets Rebekah at a well. Rebekah will become the wife of Abraham’s son Isaac. Second, in Genesis 29, Jacob meets Rachel at a well. Rachel later became Jacob’s wife. Third, in Exodus 2, Moses meets Zipporoah at a well. Zipporoah became Moses’ wife. Do you see a pattern and theme here? Ancient Jewish people knew these stories very well. Wells and women were associated with

marriage in the Old Testament. Now enter Jesus in this week’s Gospel. We read in the Gospel of John, “Jesus came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob's well was there. Jesus, tired from his journey, sat down there at the well.” Then, someone comes to the well. Surprise, surprise! “A woman of Samaria came to draw water.” Pierre Mignard beautifully illustrates today’s Gospel story in his painting, Christ and the Woman of Samaria (1681), which is in the North Carolina Museum of Art. Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well continues the pattern of wells, women, and matrimony begun in the Old Testament, and completes it. In His conversation with this Samaritan woman, “the woman said to him, ‘I know that the Messiah is coming, the one called the Christ; when he comes, he will tell us everything.’ Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one speaking with you." The key here in this conversation revolves around the title Messiah, or the Christ in Greek. The Samaritan woman makes reference to the coming of the Messiah, and Jesus clearly indicates that He is the Christ. Why is this important? Dr. Pitre explains why Jesus’ claim to be the Christ, or Messiah, to the Samaritan woman at the well is so important. For the ancient Jewish people, one of the expectations of the Messiah was to renew God’s marriage relationship with His people. Throughout the Old Testament, God is referred to as the Bridegroom and Israel the Bride. The Jewish people were waiting for a new marriage covenant with God. When the Messiah would come, he would establish this new marriage covenant between God and His people. The woman in today’s Gospel was a Samaritan. Samaritans were a people of mixed ancestry; part Israelite descent and part Gentile (pagan) descent. Their religion was also a mixture; part worship of God of Israel and part pagan gods. So, when Jesus the Christ (Messiah) meets the Samaritan woman at the well, Jesus fulfills this Messianic expectation as He (God) betroths God’s people (now the Church). St. Augustine wonderfully teaches, “a woman came. She is a symbol of the Church not yet made righteous. Righteousness follows from the conversation. The Samaritans did not form part of the Jewish people: they were foreigners. The fact that she came from a foreign people is part of the symbolic meaning, for she is a symbol of the Church. The Church was to come from the Gentiles, of a different race from the Jews.” Since March 19 falls on a Sunday this year, the Church celebrates his feast on Monday, March 20. St. Joseph is the patron saint of fathers, families, children, workers, the Church, and happy death. May the Blessed Mother and St. Joseph her chaste Spouse pray for us!! Vivat Jesus! Live Jesus!

Fr. Bob’s Briefs

En este tercer domingo de Cuaresma, leemos el Evangelio de Jesús y la samaritana en el pozo. Si no estamos familiarizados con el Antiguo Testamento, se nos pierde la importancia y el significado del encuentro de Jesús con la samaritana en el pozo de Jacob. Dr. Brant Pitre es un muy excelente biblico católico y autor. Recientemente, he leído algunos de los trabajos del Dr. Pitre, particularmente lo que se refiere al Evangelio de esta semana. El hecho de que Jesús se encuentre con la mujer samaritana en el pozo es muy importante. Para aquellos que no están muy familiarizados con las historias del Antiguo Testamento, el significado especial de las mujeres y los pozos se nos escapa. En primer lugar, en Génesis 24, el siervo de Abraham conoce a Rebeca en un pozo. Rebeca se convertirá en la esposa del hijo de Abraham ,Isaac. En segundo lugar, en Génesis 29, Jacob conoce a Raquel en un pozo. Más tarde, Raquel se convirtió en esposa de Jacob. En tercer lugar, en Éxodo 2, Moisés conoce a Zephora en un pozo. Zephora se convirtió en esposa de Moisés. ¿Ves un patrón y un tema aquí?

El antiguo pueblo judío conocía muy bien estas historias. Los pozos y las mujeres se asociaron con el matrimonio en el Antiguo Testamento. Ahora entra Jesús en el Evangelio de esta semana. Leemos en el Evangelio de Juan, "Jesús vino a una ciudad de Samaria llamada Sicar, cerca de la parcela de tierra que Jacob dió a su hijo José. El pozo de Jacob estaba allí y estando cansado de su viaje, se sentó allí en el pozo." Entonces, alguien viene al pozo. ¡Sorpresa, sorpresa! "Una mujer de Samaria vino a sacar agua". Pierre Mignard bellamente ilustra la historia de Evangelio de hoy en su pintura, Cristo y la mujer de Samaria (1681), que se encuentra en el Museo de arte de Carolina del norte.

El encuentro de Jesús con la samaritana en el pozo continua el patrón de pozos, mujer y matrimonios que comenzó en el Antiguo Testamento y lo completa. En su conversación con esta mujer samaritana, "la mujer le dijo: “sé que viene el Mesías, el llamado el Cristo; cuando El venga, El nos dirá todo.” Jesús le dijo, "Yo soy El, el que habla contigo" la clave de esta conversación gira en torno al título de Mesías o Cristo en griego. La mujer samaritana hace referencia a la venida del Mesías y Jesús claramente indica que El es el Cristo. ¿Por qué es esto importante?

Dr. Pitre explica por qué es tan importante la afirmación de Jesús de ser el Cristo o Mesías, a la mujer samaritana en el pozo. Para el antiguo pueblo judío, una de las expectativas del Mesías era renovar la relación de Dios con su pueblo. A lo largo del Antiguo Testamento, se refieren a Dios como el novio y a Israel como la novia. El pueblo judío estaban esperando un nuevo pacto de unión con Dios. Cuando el Mesías viniera, El establecería este nuevo pacto de unión entre Dios y su pueblo. La mujer en el Evangelio de hoy era samaritana. Los samaritanos eran un pueblo de origen mixto; parte de descendencia israelita y parte gentil (pagana). Su religión era también una mezcla; parte de adoración al Dios de Israel y parte a los dioses paganos. Por lo tanto, cuando Jesús el Cristo (Mesías) se encuentra con la mujer samaritana en el pozo, Jesús cumple esta expectativa mesiánica cuando El (Dios), desposa al pueblo de Dios (ahora la iglesia). San Agustín enseña maravillosamente, "vino una mujer. Ella es un símbolo de la iglesia aún no ha sido hecha justa. Justicia se deduce de la conversación. Los Samaritanos no formaban parte de los judíos: eran los extranjeros. El hecho de que ella provenía de un pueblo extranjero es parte del significado simbólico, que es un símbolo de la iglesia. La iglesia era de los Gentiles, de una raza diferente de los judíos.

Como el 19 de marzo, día de San José, cae en domingo este año, la Iglesia celebra su fiesta el lunes 20 de marzo. San José es patrono de las familias, niños, padres, trabajadores, la iglesia y la muerte feliz. Que nuestra madre Santísima y San José su casto esposo rueguen por nosotros! Vivat Jesus! ¡Viva Jesús!

Informes del Padre Bob

Nasze rozważania na dzisiejszą III Niedzielę Wielkiego Postu dotyczą fragmentu Ewangelii według św. Jana, w którym Jezus spotyka Samarytankę przy studni Jakuba. Doktor Brant Pitre to znakomity badacz Biblii oraz autor. Ostatnio przeczytałem kilka jego prac, zwłaszcza w odniesieniu do dzisiejszej Ewangelii. Fakt, iż Pan spotkał się z Samarytanką przy studni jest niezwykle istotny. Jednakże osoby nie znające dobrze Starego Testamentu mogą nie dostrzec związku między kobietą a studnią. Zacznijmy od tego, że w 24 rozdziale Księgi Rodzaju, służący Abrahama spotyka Rebekę przy studni. Rebeka zostanie później żoną Izaaka, syna Abrahama. Po drugie: w 29 rozdziale Księgi Rodzaju, Jakub spotyka swoją przyszłą żonę Rachelę przy studni. Po trzecie: w drugim rozdziale Księgi Wyjścia, Mojżesz spotyka przy studni swoją późniejszą żonę, Seforę. Zauważyliście już

pewną prawidłowość? Dawni Izraelici dobrze znali takie opowieści. W Starym Testamencie, kobiety i studnie związane były z małżeństwem. Przejdźmy teraz do Jezusa z dzisiejszego czytania. „Przybył więc do miasteczka samarytańskiego, zwanego Sychar, w pobliżu pola, które [niegdyś] dał Jakub synowi swemu, Józefowi. Było tam źródło Jakuba. Jezus zmęczony drogą siedział sobie przy studni” (J 4:5-6). A po chwili… „Nadeszła [tam] kobieta z Samarii, aby zaczerpnąć wody” (J 4:7). Pierre Mignard pięknie przedstawił tę scenę na swoim obrazie: „Jezus i Samarytanka” (1681 rok). Obraz można obecnie podziwiać w Muzeum Sztuki w Karolinie Północnej. Spotkanie Jezusa i Samarytanki przy studni dopełnia związek kobiet, studni i małżeństwa, ukazany w Starym Testamencie. „Rzekła do Niego kobieta: Wiem, że przyjdzie Mesjasz, zwany Chrystusem. A kiedy On przyjdzie, objawi nam wszystko. Powiedział do niej Jezus: Jestem nim Ja, który z tobą mówię” (J 4:25-26). Owa rozmowa dotyczy tytułu „Mesjasza” (lub Chrystusa, po grecku). Samarytanka wspomina o nadejściu Mesjasza, na co Jezus jasno stwierdza, że to On jest Chrystusem. Czemu ten dialog jest tak ważny? Na to pytanie odpowiedzi udziela doktor Pitre. Izraelici oczekiwali, że Mesjasz odnowi przymierze Boga z Jego Ludem. W Starym Testamencie, Bóg nazywany jest Oblubieńcem, zaś Izrael – Oblubienicą. Znakiem odnowionego przymierza miało być nadejście Mesjasza. Kobieta z dzisiejszego czytania była Samarytanką – w jej żyłach płynęła krew zarówno Żydów, jak i nie-Żydów (pogan). Religia Samarytan odzwierciedlała ich pochodzenie: była to mieszanka tradycji żydowskich i pogańskich. Spotkanie Mesjasza, Jezusa Chrystusa ze Samarytanką przy studni jest dopełnieniem mesjanistycznego proroctwa o Bogu zaślubiającym Swój Lud (którym obecnie jest Kościół). Święty Augustyn pisze o tym następująco: „Do studni przyszła kobieta – symbol Kościoła wciąż jeszcze nieprawego. Prawość jest owocem nawrócenia. Samarytanie nie byli Żydami; to obcy lud. Fakt, iż kobieta pochodziła z obcego ludu, ma głębokie znaczenie symboliczne. Jest ona bowiem symbolem Kościoła. Kościół miał się narodzić pośród obcych, ludzi innych niż Żydzi”. Jako że 18 marca wypada w tym roku w niedzielę, Dzień świętego Józefa przeniesiono tym razem na poniedziałek, 20 marca. Święty Józef jest patronem ojców, rodzin, dzieci, robotników, Kościoła powszechnego, oraz szczęśliwej śmierci. Święta Maryjo, Święty Józefie Oblubieńcu – módlcie się za nami.

Vivat Iesus! Chwała Jezusowi!

As I mentioned last week we had a very busy weekend with our Mother-Son Dance, Family Mass and our sports teams. To update you: Soccer - Our Pre-School/Kindergarten played hard but came us just short losing the Championship Game to Our Lady of Snows, and finishing in second place. Our 1st & 2nd Grade team played extremely well and defeated St. Mary Star of the Sea 2 -0 to win the championship. Following the game they traveled south to St. Gerald’s and played for the Championship against St. Gerald. Our young Knights won their second Championship of the day defeating St. Gerald 8 – 4. Way to go Knights! A special thank you to Coach Garcia who coaches both the Kindergarten and 1st & 2nd Grade teams on the fine job he does working with our children.
