The Further Thirst
There is a thirst in every human heart. Each of us is like that lonely Samaritan woman. We are thirsting for something, something that will satisfy all our longings.
But often we search in the wrong places. We draw water from many wells:
the water of praise to quench our thirst for self-esteem;
the water of success to quench our thirst for importance;
the water of pleasure to quench our thirst for joy …
But we still get thirsty. Only God can give us what we are looking for. He alone can cause a spring to well up inside us. The water from this spring will sustain us in our journey to the Promised Land of eternal life.

Fr Michael Cunningham
Because of Fr Michael’s declining health situation, it has been decided to move him to our special community for the elderly at St Joseph’s in Bolton. If all goes well he will be moving on 2nd April. Fr Michael has been involved with the people of Bootle over many years and will be sad to go. He will be with us for the next couple of Sundays, so you have the chance to wish him well. Please keep him in your prayers.
