When Nothing Else Will Satisfy | Third Week in Lent (Year A)

In this third week of Lent with The Ascension Lenten Companion, Fr. Toups reminds us that even if you haven’t maintained your spiritual exercises, it’s not too late to recommit—because nothing else will satisfy more than life in Christ. No matter if you’re having a great Lent or struggling to keep your commitments, we all desire more. We search relentlessly for the one thing or one person which will make us happy. But there isn’t any one thing or any one person on this earth who will fulfill our every desire. We were made for a person, a particular person. The person of Jesus Christ. In the gospel reading this week we meet the woman at the well. She has a similar story to many of us. Looking for the thing or person who will make her happy. Jesus intentionally pursues her. He knows exactly what he is doing when he pursues the woman at the well, and he knows what she is looking for. He wants to liberate her and free her. Jesus thirsts for and pursues us just as he did the woman at the well. God created a thirst in our hearts because we were made for more and to long for more. If we pay attention to our hearts this Lent, we will notice we desire more. Let the Lord take you deep within your heart. Ask yourself, what do you really want in life? What are you really searching for? Do you want more?
