Lenten Lessons from the Woman at the Well

Deacon Jim Fien of St. Rita in Webster offers a reflection on the reading for March 8, 2026, which tells of Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well. Deacon Fien reminds us that Lent is an opportunity for us to quench our deeper thirst for the things of God.
