Third Sunday of Lent
Drawing water for household use is still largely a woman’s
task in much of the world. Going to a communal water
source—a well, cistern, stream, or community tap—is part
of the daily ritual for the women in many families. With
our municipal water systems and their complex machinery
of purification and storage, water from the tap is an ordi-
nary fixture in daily life for those of us who live in the de-
veloped world. Even in rural areas, where homes have in-
dividual wells, water runs freely in the house aided by a
pump and pressure tank. Unlike people in many parts of
the world, who still get their water like the Samaritan
woman in today’s Gospel, most of us just turn on a faucet,
and water appears.
The Samaritan woman encounters Jesus at one of the
typical village meeting places of his day. Usually, the men
would gather at the city gates. The women would gather at
the well, drawing water and exchanging news of the day.
While his disciples go into the village to find food, Jesus
stops at the well, and begins his conversation with the
woman who would eventually become his messenger to
the townsfolk. While at first she expects Jesus to give her
free-flowing water (who wouldn’t want to leave the burden
of carrying heavy jars of water behind), instead she discov-
ers a prophet, about whom she testifies.
Human ingenuity and inventiveness have made daily
life easier for many of us. Something as simple as water
flowing from a tap has made our lives so much better. Add
to that all the other conveniences, and our lives are far dif-
ferent from the people who lived in that small Samaritan
town that Jesus visited so long ago. But our need for salva-
tion is the same. We may not have to carry water anymore.
But we do need to carry the message of Christ to all whom
we meet. ©2013 Liturgical Publications Inc

FAITH FORMATION
Last week we looked at how the US bishops warn us against leaning towards two extremes when it comes to our vot-ing decisions. On the one hand, we should not become “single-issue” voters who make our decisions based solely on a candidate’s stance regarding one issue among the many that are part of our “consistent ethic of life”. On the other hand, we should not imagine that all the moral issues pertaining to the dignity of human life have equal weight: “As Catholics we are not single-issue voters. A candidate’s position on a single issue is not sufficient to guarantee a voter’s support. Yet a candidate’s position on a single issue that involves an intrinsic evil, such as support for legal abortion or the promotion of racism, may legitimately lead a voter to disqualify a candidate from receiving support.” The bishops continue: “Any politics of human dignity must seriously address issues of racism, poverty, hunger, employment, educa-tion, housing, and health care. . . . If we understand the human person as the ‘temple of the Holy Spirit’—the living house of God—then these issues fall logically into place as the crossbeams and walls of that house. All direct attacks on inno-cent human life, such as abortion and euthanasia, strike at the house's foundation.”
In paragraph 44 of “Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship”, the US bishops begin to set forth four major principles of the Catholic social tradition: 1) the dignity of the human person; 2) subsidiarity; 3) the common good; 4) and solidarity. Let’s begin taking a closer look at these four major principles.
The first key theme is the dignity of the human person. “Human life is sacred. The dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. Direct attacks on innocent persons are never morally acceptable, at any stage or in any condition. In our society, human life is especially under direct attack from abortion. Other direct threats to the sanctity of human life include euthanasia, human cloning, and the destruction of human embryos for research. Catholic teaching about the dignity of life calls us to oppose torture, unjust war, and the indiscriminate use of drones for violent purposes; to prevent genocide and attacks against noncombatants; to oppose racism; to oppose human trafficking; and to overcome poverty and suffering. Nations are called to protect the right to life by seeking effective ways to combat evil and terror without resorting to armed conflicts except as a last resort after all peaceful means have failed, and to end the use of the death penalty as a means of protecting society from violent crime. We revere the lives of children in the womb, the lives of persons dying in war and from starvation, and indeed the lives of all human beings as children of God. We stand opposed to these and all activities that contribute to what Pope Francis has called "a throwaway cul-ture."
Notice how the bishops place respect for the sacredness of human life and the inherent dignity of the human person as the first major principle, for it is the foundation for all the other principles. They emphasize the grave concern over legalized abortion in our country, yet they relate this to a whole host of other threats to the sacredness of human life.
The second major principle is “subsidiarity”. This is an important follow-up to the first principle, for it reminds us that “the human person is not only sacred but also social; full human development takes place in relationship with others.” This very Catholic insight helps to balance an overly individualistic understanding of human nature that is common in our American culture. As Christians we believe that each human being is created in the image of God, yet this God is not simply an isolated individual, but rather a communion of Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So if we are created in the image of this Triune God, then we must find our deepest identity in communion with others.
The most basic and foundational social unit is the family: “The family—based on marriage between a man and a woman— is the first and fundamental unit of society and is a sanctuary for the creation and nurturing of children. It should be defended and strengthened, not redefined or undermined by permitting same-sex unions or other distortions of marriage. It is important to uphold parents’ rights and responsibilities to care for their children, including the right to choose their children’s education.” Public policy and the role of the state is to support the rights and duties of parents as they guide and nurture their children to adulthood.
The breakdown of marriage and family life, due to economic, cultural, social, and moral factors, leads to huge costs for society in general. What is the best way to remedy the roots of family breakdown? Some people argue that the gov-ernment should take a strong role through various social programs, whereas other people argue that this should be ad-dressed by churches, charities, and civic organizations. A helpful principle in thinking through this debate is the princi-ple of subsidiarity: “The principle of subsidiarity reminds us that larger institutions in society should not overwhelm or interfere with smaller or local institutions, yet larger institutions have essential responsibilities when the more local in-stitutions cannot adequately protect human dignity, meet human needs, and advance the common good.

The Lesson of the ‘Little Way’
On a recent trip to the local food market, there were pre-packed paper bags at the checkout counter contain-ing $10 worth of food for a local food bank. Upon pay-ing the bill, one could donate one of those bags and it was a small way to help out the hungry in the communi-ty. However, one may think – how can one little bag of donated food make a difference in a world so big?
St. Therese of the Child Jesus is known for her doc-trine of the ‘little way’ doing small things with great love for God and others. Throughout the years, people have been attracted to her ‘little way’, which seems to put ho-liness within the reach of ordinary people. (Adapted from www.littleflower.org)
In light of this ‘little way’ taught to us by St. Therese, we, too, can make a difference in this big world when we visit Jesus in the Adoration Chapel…by offering our ‘little prayers’ for someone who is suffering, lonely, or dying. One prayer, one rosary, one Divine Mercy Chap-let at a time. So make it a point to get to the Adoration Chapel this week to help make a difference…in your own ‘little way’. Jesus is awaiting your visit!
The Adoration Chapel is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For more information, call Joan Taylor 630-530-
8963 or Mary Lewis 630-941-9173.
Divine Mercy Corner
Jesus said to St. Faustina: “… as often as you hear the clock strike the third hour, immerse yourself completely in My mercy, adoring and glorifying it; invoke its omnipo-
tence for the whole world, and particularly for poor sin-ners; for at that moment mercy was opened wide for every
soul. In this hour you can obtain everything for yourself and for others for the asking; it was the hour of grace for the whole world – mercy triumphed over justice.” (Diary, 1572)
