On this Third Sunday of Lent, we are invited to see the extraordinary in the ordinary. Water, for us a common everyday item, becomes a source of transformation for the Samaritan woman at the well. The absence of water, something unthinkable for us, becomes the basis of a confrontation among the Israelites in the desert. The gentle movement of water, imagery so familiar to us, becomes a stunning metaphor for the gift of God’s love. Throughout these readings we are called to perceive water in new and dramatically different ways, to marvel at its purity, and to recapture its sacred significance.
This week's readings:
Gospel – John 4: 5-42
1st Reading – Exodus 17: 3-7
Psalm 95
2nd Reading – Romans 5: 1-2, 5-8
