March 18, 2020
To: Clergy, Religious and Laity of the Archdiocese of New Orleans
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ: I pray that your Lenten journey has been a time of drawing closer to Christ and responding to his invi-tation to conversion.
As we identify an area of our life that needs change, we can be assured of God’s help for us to face our weakness and experience a change of heart. Lent should include standing before our merciful God and asking for his forgiveness in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, better known as Confession.
Please be reminded that a priest will be available in every church in the Archdiocese of New Orleans for the next 3 Wednesdays (March 18, March 25, and April 1) from 5:00 PM-6:30PM. The heart of Jesus is open and he invites you to know ands accept his mercy.
Whether we have been to Confession recently, our perhaps it has been many years, now is the time to know that his heart is open and eager to forgive.
Let us remember one another in prayer as we continue this journey through Lent to the new life of Easter.
Wishing you God’s blessings, I am
Sincerely in Christ,
Most Reverend Gregory M. Aymond Archbishop of New Orleans

THE SANCTUARY LIGHT IN CHURCH BURNS IN MEMORY OF DAVID MICHEL GALEAS
WATER FOR OTHERS The story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman, like the passage from Exodus, speaks of tired and thirsty peo-
ple. Jesus is tired and thirsty from his journey. The Samaritan woman is not only tired of the difficult
chore of obtaining water, but is thirsty for something more. Jesus presents himself as living water for her, able to satisfy a deeper thirst in her heart. Through his patience and compassion, he opens a new well-
spring of God’s sustenance for her. How might we, like Jesus, be water for others in our
thirsty world? We can take some cues from Jesus here. Jesus crossed boundaries of gender, ethnicity,
and religious division. Jesus began in vulnerability, in need of hospitality from a stranger. His was a non-threatening, compassionate presence. Jesus did not
begin by speaking about himself or God, but entered into ordinary conversation with her. He first attended
to her practical realities and concerns, which led to deeper dialogue. Perhaps we have opportunities to
follow Jesus’ example.
HONEST AND OPEN WITH GOD The story of the Israelites’ grumbling and threatened
revolt, and of God’s response in our reading from Exodus today, grapples with difficulties of the life of
faith. Those who place their lives in the hands of God, as Israel did by following Moses into the desert, may soon face troubling and fearful moments. Sometimes we lose what we think we need, or somehow find it
difficult to get what we really need. In our busy lives, it’s easy to gradually forget God’s presence and action
among us. Moses’ prayer to God and God’s compassionate re-sponse of providing water resolve the situation. Per-haps it was Moses’ admirable honesty in his dialogue with God that made a difference. Moses “cried out to
the Lord” and he didn’t know how God might respond. Honestly expressing our needs in prayer is essential to the life of faith. Waiting in openness to
God’s response is equally important.

DISPONIBILIDAD Dios no pide nuestra capacidad o incapacidad
sino nuestra disponibilidad. —Anónimo
AGUA PARA LOS DEMÁS La historia de Jesús y la mujer samaritana, como el pasaje del libro del Éxodo, habla de personas cansa-das y sedientas. Jesús está cansado y sediento de su viaje. La mujer samaritana no sólo está cansada del quehacer difícil de obtener agua, sino que también
está sedienta por algo más. Jesús se presenta ante ella a sí mismo como el agua viva, capaz de satisfacer una sed profunda en su corazón. Mediante su paciencia y compasión, él abre para ella un nuevo manantial del
sustento de Dios. ¿Cómo podríamos, como Jesús, ser agua para otras
personas en nuestro mundo sediento? Podemos tomar algunas señales de Jesús aquí. Jesús cruza fronteras
de género, etnicidad y división religiosa. Jesús empie-za vulnerable, con la necesidad de la hospitalidad de una desconocida. Su presencia era compasiva y no
amenazante. Jesús no empezó hablando de sí mismo o de Dios, sino que entró en una conversación ordinaria con ella. Él primero atiende a sus necesidades prácti-
cas y preocupaciones, que guían a un dialogo más profundo. Quizá tenemos la oportunidad de seguir
el ejemplo de Jesús.
HONESTIDAD Y APERTURA CON DIOS La historia de las quejas y amenaza de sedición de los
israelitas, y la respuesta de Dios en nuestra lectura de hoy del libro del Éxodo, aborda las dificultades de la vida de fe.
Aquellos que ponen su vida en las manos de Dios, como Israel lo hizo al seguir a Moisés en el desierto, quizá pronto enfrenten momentos desconcertantes y terribles. Algunas
veces, desperdiciamos lo que pensamos necesitar, o de alguna manera encontramos dificultades para obtener lo que realmente necesitamos. En nuestras vidas ocupadas,
poco a poco es fácil olvidar la presencia y acción de Dios en medio de nosotros.
La oración de Moisés y la respuesta compasiva de Dios al proveer agua resuelve la situación. Quizás fue la admirable honestidad de Moisés en su dialogo con Dios lo que hizo la diferencia. Moisés “clamó fuertemente al Señor” y él no
sabía cómo Dios podría responder. Honestamente ex-presando nuestras necesidades en oración es esencial en la
vida de fe. Esperar en la apertura de la respuesta de Dios es igualmente importante.
AVAILABILITY God does not ask for our ability or our inability,
but our availability. —Anonymous
