SYNOPSIS:The story of the woman at the well, the Samaritan woman, Photini, must be understood in a historical, theological, mystical and practical context. She said "the well is deep", and this story can be discussed from many perspectives, many of which are, alas, unintelligible to most because of their low level of theological knowledge and interest. The most important one for us is what we must do do get the living water, the Holy Spirit. Saint Photini shows us several things that we MUST be if we are to be saved - theologically literate, having thirst for righteousness, humility, and zeal. Her conversation with the Lord and subsequent actions show all these things.

SYNOPSIS:The story of the woman at the well, St Photini (Svetlana) has an enormous amount of deep and important theology, but the most important part is the personality of the Samaritan woman must be understood an emulated to understand any of it. She was very humble; when the Lord exposed her sin, she stayede with Him to hear more. When she understood Him, she left her waterpot. We esplore these two actions. She was an extremist. We cannot be saved unless we are too.

SYNOPSIS:The conversation and conversion of the Samaritan woman by the well, recorded only in John, is the conversation of Christ with the soul. This is good news for us, as the future Equal to the Apostles Photini (Svetlana) was not a good woman - she had many sins - and we are not good either, however, she listened to the Lord, even as He sternly corrected her false beliefs and immoral lifestyle. The same conversation is happening to us, every day. Are you listening? Do you know how to listen? St Photini teaches us.

SYNOPSIS:Great things happen when we are kind, and we are humble. The Samaritan woman, Photini, became equal to the Apostles, because He was kind, and she was humble. How many times have we been kind? How many times have we been unkind - a more exact phrase would be "have not followed the Great Commandment and have not loved our neighbor" - by our indifference, arrogance, inattention? All these things are just at hateful as active hate. Let us follow the example of our Lord, and be kind to everyone who crosses our path, and if we have even a shred of humility, God will bless us and those we encounter.

SYNOPSIS:A little bit about how the Gospel of John is different from everything else in the bible, and the purpose of liturgy (the same as the purpose of John), and that the conversation of the woman at the well is a mystical "instruction book" about achieving this purpose. A little about our religion. There is nothing "formal" in it!
