March 20, 2022 - 3rd Sunday of Lent homily: Fr. Ryan Riley

Christ the King Catholic Church

Homily given at the 11:00 a.m. Mass on Sunday, March 20, 2022, the 3rd Sunday of Lent, by Fr. Ryan Riley, Chaplain at Father Gabriel Richard High School in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Today's Gospel is the story of the Woman at the Well from the Gospel of John. (The Year A reading was used because the First Scrutiny was celebrated at this Mass.) When we draw from the well of the world we are never satisfied. We need to draw from the living water offered by Jesus Christ and pray for those who have not yet found that living water.

Key words: evangelization, conversion, metanoia, change, repentance, encounter, intercession, penance
