It was in her weakness that she accepted Jesus and was able to open up and be healed. Like the Samaritan woman we, too, must offer ourselves to Jesus and to our fellow Christians. It is in our weaknesses we accept each other and when we are able to do this we will find peace with God, our neighbor and ourselves. The flowers in the church were from the funeral of Maude Hodgins.
