Justice Challenge:  The Samaritan woman, also known as the woman at the well, is featured in Sunday’s Gospel.  She was a member of a tribe with which the Jews did not interact, she was a woman, and she had a fairly bad reputation after being married several times.  Even with these three strikes against her, Jesus made her the first evangelizer of her village.  Your challenge this week is to identify someone in your life who is not from your immediate circle of family and friends, someone you might consider an outsider, and listen to or closely observe that person.  See if you can learn something about Jesus from the way he or she lives and speaks.  Show appreciation for this “outsider” in any way you can.
