This week we open up John 4, the Gospel from Year A Scrutiny readings. We talk on freedom, authenticity and the importance of this scripture in Jesus's ministry. We hope you love it! The guiding quotes are:
- “Although he is ostracized because of His radical goodness and she because of her dubious reputation, they are nevertheless two pariahs meeting in the solitude of rejection. Shared rejection frees them to be themselves with one another beyond all social conventions. ‘Freedom’s just another word for nothing to lose’ bellowed the tragic rock star Janice Joplin. Solitude, rejection, and exhaustion: Jesus and the woman share the same yoke.” - Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis
- “...That we must ourselves become evangelists out of our experience of conversion.” - Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis
- John 4
