Homilies about divine life

Why Worldly Things Never Satisfy: The Thirst of the Soul

The homily reflects on the Gospel of the Samaritan woman at the well, emphasizing that our souls thirst for God just as our bodies thirst for water. It highlights that worldly pursuits like money, power, and pleasure can never truly satisfy us, as we are designed for divine life. The homily encourages self-reflection on what false 'wells' we are drawing from and to allow Jesus to satisfy our deepest longings.
