historic event, we are screening Pope John Paul 11. This movie, starring Oscar winner John Voigt and Oscar nominee James
Cromwell, brings the amazing story of Karol Wojtyla up close and personal, from his struggles in Nazi-occupied Poland to his
dealings with Russians, to his election, at the age of 58, as the first non-Italian pope in 455 years.
The movie will be screened from April 4th to 10th at the Port Theatre beginning at 7:15 each evening with a special Monday m
atinée on April 7th. Bishop Marcel will introduce the movie on opening night, beginning at 7:00 pm and Father Kevin Maloney, who
will be leading a pilgrimage to Rome for the canonization, will introduce the Matinée.

Spreading the Word
We are not like the Samaritan woman when she arrived at the well. We already know Christ. We have experienced his love
and grace. We have tasted the water that springs up to eternal life - the Holy Spirit who has "been poured out into our
hearts," as St Paul puts it in the Second Reading. Even so, we still have periods in our life when, like the Israelites in the
desert, we struggle, we cry out, we get thirsty, and we need God to remind us of his power and his love. But we know where
to turn in those moments. We "have been justified by faith," as St Paul says, and so "we have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ." Today we should thank God for that precious gift, of faith - the "gift of God" that never runs dry. So we
are not like the Samaritan woman when she arrived at the well. Rather, we are like the Samaritan woman after her
conversation with Christ. In today's secularized world, we are the privileged ones, the countercultural ones who have met the
Savior. We know that no matter what the advertisers say, horizontal stuff will never satisfy the human heart's vertical thirst.
But so many of those around us don't know that, and so they are frustrated in life, and they don't know why. It is up to us to
tell them. All the Holy Spirit needs from us is a decent effort to spread the good news, and he will use our clumsy words to
bring faith into thirsty hearts - just as he used the Samaritan woman's words to convert an entire town. Jesus is the new
Moses, and each one of us is a wooden staff in his hands, and he wants to use us to touch the stony hearts of our thirsting
neighbors, so he can open within them a flowing fountain of his saving grace. This week, let's give him the chance.
