## Resource

Today’s podcast features an excerpt from Saint Maximus of Turin’s Homily 22 reflecting on Jesus encountering the Woman of Samaria as proclaimed at Mass this Sunday. A reflection on Gospel metanoia (repenting), appears on my blog reflecting on Jesus’ encounter with the Woman of Samaria that led to her conversion. (https://patrolo.gy/3Lent26).
