BTW

By Tim Rohr

BTW, the Vatican.va article about the event Archbishop Jimenez is currently attending begins with the following:

"On the first day of the meeting dedicated to the 10th anniversary of Amoris laetitia, Sr. Helen Alford calls for ways to encourage young people to embrace the “great challenge” of family life."

Sr. Helen shared an interesting take on Jesus' conversation with the woman at the well, suggesting that Jesus was flirting with the woman.

She described the initial approach, in a “somewhat provocative” way, as a “flirting”: a man and a woman are speaking alone, and their exchange remains ambiguous until Jesus confronts her with the truth: “Go and call your husband . . . and come back here.”

Yeah, that should be a great encouragement to young people to embrace family life. 

Thanks, Sister.
