Hebrews 7:25
The Samaritan Woman And Living Water –The Fourth Gospel, attributed to Saint John the Evangelist, is used exclusively from Easter until Pentecost for the Sunday readings. The first chapter of John’s Gospel is the proclamation used for the Divine Liturgy on Easter itself. This week, we are reminded of the story of Christ’s encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well of Jacob, and thereby Christ’s fulfillment of the Old Testament.
In one of the many unique stories of the Fourth Gospel not found in the Synoptics (Matthew, Mark or Luke), Jesus reveals himself as Messiah to this woman of Samaria and talks with her about the “water that I will give will become . . . a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.”
In the early days of His ministry, Jesus travels back and fourth between Galilee and Jerusalem, and must pass through Samaria. The Samaritans were outcast Jews because they were not subject to the Babylonian exile of the Israelites from other provinces. Therefore when Jesus talks with this Samaritan woman, His disciples are surprised and in shock that He would carry n on a conversation with a woman at the well, let alone a Samaritan.
But as the story is explained, the woman’s testimony about Jesus spreads through the nearby town, and because of her, many come to hear His teachings
After hearing His word, they come to believe in Him and proclaim Him “the Savior of the world.” (John 4:42).
With water as the focal point of this encounter, we are once again reminded of our Baptism, and that Christ’s Baptism is that of “eternal life” through “living water.”

Palestinian Supporters Set Tents In Swarthmore
By Bob Small
(Update: We have been told that the tents have been pulled)
We’ve put off for a long time discussing the “third rail” of American Politics, which is the Middle East.
As someone who maintains “we will always need an Israel, just not this one,” I’ll say that both sides have blood on their hands, going back to 1947.
Further back, we have the Balfour Declaration of 1917.
Though not all Jews are Zionists, they hold sway, partly because neither Europe or North America were welcoming to the concept of a Jewish state.
Israel’s founding, unfortunately is another case of “the oppressed becoming the oppressor”.
To move on to today, Swarthmore College has it’s own Pro-Palestinian Tent City courtesy of Swarthmore Students for Justice in Palestine.
There email is SwarthmoreSJPgmail.com.
Among their demands, according to Spokesperson Ragad, are that Swarthmore College should divest from HP, Lockheed Martin, and Vanguard, because they support Israel.
Ragad compared this to the previous divestment campaign regarding South Africa.
The only outside group that had an easily visible tent was Jewish Voice For Peace (JVP) which describes itself as “ the largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world” and to which I subscribe, although I don’t always agree with their sentiments.
When we brought up Joe Biden, whom we said, could easily tell Israel, that “we’re only sending you bows and arrows after Tuesday, but won’t”, Ragad responded with the Leahy Law which the current president has consistently ignored. This was last brought up concerning South Africa.
On the issue of what they wanted, they suggested a Palestinian state, where they thought Jews could also peacefully live, which I find to be a very naive answer.
Meanwhile, Gov. Josh Shapiro, who went to Georgetown and the University of Rochester, who said in Politico “If the universities in accordance with their policies can’t guarantee the safety and security and well-being of the students, then I think it is incumbent upon a local mayor or local governor or local town councilor, whoever is the local leadership there, to step in and enforce the law.”

Home For Drug Addicts Would Break Residency Law In Haverford
By Sharon Devaney
The Haverford (Pa) Zoning Hearing Board, Thursday, April 25, questioned Mary Nolan who is the president of The Savage Sisters which is seeking to use 17 Tenby Road as a community living arrangement for recovering drug addicts.
Many neighbors attended in opposition. While they weren’t giving a chance to testify, they said outside the hearing that their children play outside and fear they may be endangered.
The homeowner of the home in question had passed away and his children don’t want it, and The Savage Sisters are seeking to move in.
Township law allows only three unrelated persons in a home.
This angered Ms. Nolan, who is seeking to have nine, when this was pointed out, and she began yelling threats that she would fill it with 25.
The residents will pay $175 per week to live there.
Among those on The Savage Sisters Board of Directors is Amanda Cappelletti, the Democrat who represents the 17th District in the Pennsylvania Senate.
The board asked about Ms. Nolan’s credentials and she was forced to concede she had no license or training for dealing with addiction.
“I have life education,” she shouted.
Ms. Nolan says she they have acquired a property in Upper Darby and there are no issues with the number of occupants.
She says Delaware County will give them a grant to fund the Havertown home.
Savage Sisters Program Director Melanie Beddis, who is a graduate of The Savage Sisters program, was asked if she was aware of the zoning concerns. She said she was not.
The lawyer for the Zoning Hearing Board produced a letter signed by Ms. Beddis saying she did understand the issues.
She says she didn’t remember signing it.
The hearing was stopped at 11 p.m. and will continue 7:15 p.m., May 23 at the Haverford Township Building.
Show up early.
The fear in Haverford is palpable. On the night of the hearing 6 ABC News broadcast a report of the dramatic increase in crime in the community.
And the idiotic plastic bag ban is not helping the quality of life either.

Committee Loss Leaves Bucks Boss Red Faced –Bucks County GOP Chairwoman Pat Poprik is probably wishing she hadn’t gone hands on in a committeeman race in the April 23 Primary.
Top-down micromanaging invariably backfires but Pat really wanted Barry Casper out of politics and needed long-time ally and incumbent Wally Rosenthal to keep his post in Hilltop Fairhill’s 2nd Precinct.
So she sent a letter on GOP letterhead to the residents praising Wally and saying all Barry wants to do is “create chaos for personal gain.”
What micromangers never get is that the ones closest to the scene know more about what’s going on. The residents of Hilltop Fairhill know Barry as a coach and neighbor and knew the grief he was putting himself through is for anything but personal gain.
Anyway, when the votes were counted it was Casper 202 to Rosenthal 146.
In other Bucks election news, challenger Mark Houck lost to incumbent Brian Fitzpatrick 39,168 to 22,957 in the GOP Primary for Pennsylvania’s First Congressional District.
Frankly, he did better than we expected.
Houck said at event we attended that he will back Fitzpatrick in the general. Hopefully, he hasn’t changed his mind.

Migration Invasion Is Treason, Says Ann Vandersteel — Journalist and mother of six Ann Vandersteel says bad times are coming.
She spoke at yesterday’s, April 25, Keystone Town Hall in Malvern, Pa.
Ms. Vandersteel, along with Michael Yon , has been revealing how Panama is a stage for the human flood entering the United States in complete disdain of our laws.
Most of the invaders are miltary-age men and many are Chinese, she said.
Many have been identified as former Chinese military by facial recognition programs, she says.
The invasion starts at Panama’s inhospitable and dangerous Darien Gap where non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) controlled by globalists have built camps.
These include HIAS, which has a notable presence in Delaware County.
HIAS started as Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society.
“It’s as Hebrew as Catholic Charities is Catholic,” Ms. Vandersteel said.
Catholic Charities has been implicated in child trafficking.
So has the US government for that matter.
Alejandro Mayorkas worked for HIAS before becoming Biden’s Homeland Security Secretary.
Ms. Vandersteel calls Mayorkas treasonous. He willfully ignores numerous US laws, she said. Mayorkas’ impeachment by the “Republican”-controlled House was ignored by the Democrat-controlled Senate.
The NGO camps destroy the environment and the way of life of the indigenous Embera tribe. The Emberas, for centuries, have shared nature with the Darien, Ms. Vandersteel said.
Her reporting preceded a fire at one camp, she says. The only thing destroyed, though, were the records for every immigrant there.
Fort Clayton on the Panama Canal, once the headquarters for the US Southern Command Network, has been completely taken over by the NGOs she says.
The immigration is controlled by the Mexican drug cartels, Ms. Vandersteel said. The migrants who are women, children and families are often subject to rape, theft and murder.
The billions of dollars controlled by the globalist and drug lords have corrupted places one wouldn’t have expected.
She says the Border Patrol turns a blind eye to the illegal crossings.
Republican Greg Abbott, Texas’ Republican governor, has been bought off, she says. His widely publicized border enforcement was just theater. She says that half of the Texas House has taken money from developers of facilities to house illegals in the state.
She said Abbott has lost all popularity in Texas but praised his adversary Attorney General Ken Paxton, also a Republican.
Ms. Vandersteel, as has Michael Yon, said turmoil is unavoidable. She said the trouble will start with a banking collapse.
Keep cash on hand and your larder stocked.
The motive for America’s destruction is that she stands in the way of “The Great Reset” a tyrannical fascist fantasy famously proclaimed by Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum.
Schwab grew up in Nazi Germany and his father worked for the Nazis.
Ms. Vandersteel was asked about the movie Civil War now playing in theaters which describes a war in the United States.
“Hollywood is laughing at us,” she said. “They want us to destroy ourselves.”
Don’t fall for false flags
In better news, the Valley Forge Classical Academy Charter School for the West Chester School District is expected to open in Exton in 2025.
Charles F. Beatty says they easily surpassed by 500 the 1,000 signatures required to appeal the school board’s rejection and they expect to prevail as all the criteria has been met.
The school will hold 900 students and use the Hillsdale Curriculum.
