On this Sixth Sunday of Easter, Fr. Stan reflects on the deeper mystery behind Philip’s journey to Samaria to proclaim the Word of God.
Why did the Holy Spirit lead him there and not elsewhere? What does Samaria reveal about God’s surprising ways of breaking barriers, healing divisions, and opening new paths for the Gospel?
