This homily was given by Fr. Matthew Howell on May 30, 2021 at Saint Mark Antiochian Orthodox Church in Youngstown, Ohio. Fr. Matthew was visiting Fr. Colin Barker--the rector of St. Mark's--who was a summer intern at St. Herman Church in Wasilla back in 2019. In this homily, Fr. Matthew discusses the importance of cleansing our heart (our "vessel") through confession so that it is ready to receive the Living Water that Jesus promises to the Samaritan Woman.
