Sunday, March 23, 2025: (Third Sunday of Lent)
Jesus said: ‘My people, in today’s Gospel I asked the Samaritan woman for a drink of water. She was surprised that I, as a Jew, would make such a request of her. I told her that I could give her ‘Living Water’ of the Holy Spirit so she would not have to keep coming to Jacob’s Well for water every day. Later, I told her that she had had five husbands and the man she was with now is not her husband. She realized that I was a prophet, and I revealed to her that I was the promised Messiah. She went back to town and told the people how I told her all that she had done. The people were happy to hear My words and they asked Me to stay a few days. During Lent you have access to get some holy water so you can share it with your family and friends. You can have a clean soul when you come to frequent Confession. Then you will have My ‘Living Water’ as My graces will wash away your sins.”
