Lord, give us the Living Water, then we will not be thirsty. 

John 4:9–10 (NJB): The Samaritan woman said to him, ‘You are a Jew. How is it that you ask me, a Samaritan, for something to drink?’—Jews, of course, do not associate with Samaritans. 10 Jesus replied to her: If you only knew what God is offering and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me something to drink,’ you would have been the one to ask, and he would have given you living water.

Jesus saying he will give the living water which is coming from the Spirit of God. Invoke the Holy Spirit while we are doing anything for the Lord. What is living water here is the Word of God and Holy Spirit to Lead a holy Spiritual life. Jesus wants to give this to all humanity and nations and race. Lord has no partiality to do any good things, he is the Lord of all. 

Happy Feast of St Francis of Assisi. Yesterday  was a special day for all of us in the Gulf Region as Franciscans are Custodians of the most of the churches in this region. They all works with the spirit and enthusiasm of St Francis. As I have in this region about 43 years and I have experienced the legacy of the holy Franciscan priests especially their commitment towards the Church and the faithful people. Mt 5:3, 8 Blessed are the poor in spirit, the Kingdom of God is theirs, Blessed are the pure in heart they shall see God.  Our special gratitude for Bishop Emiratus Paul Hinder as he was served us for long eighteen years in Southern and Northern Vicariate. 

Lord, give us your grace and peace, through these we will learn humility and faithfulness!
