TODAYS READINGS

First Reading -- When the people grumbled to Moses for water in the desert, the Lord heard and
brought forth water from the rock for all to drink (Exodus 17:3-7).

Second Reading -- God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:1-2, 5-8).
Gospel -- Ask, and you will be given living water so that you will never thirst again
(John 4:5-42 [5-15, 19b-26, 39a, 40-42]).

READINGS FOR NEXT SUNDAY

Sunday, March 30th: 1 Sm 16:1b, 6-7, 10-13a; Ps 23:1-6; Eph 5:8-14; Jn 9:1-41[1, 6-9, 13-17, 34-38]

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES

Sunday, March 23rd: Third Sunday of Lent
Tuesday, March 25th: The Annunciation of the Lord
Friday, March 28th: Abstinence



This story in John's Gospel is one of the three longest Gospel readings next to the Passion stories. They are always read on
the Sundays of Lent when those preparing for baptism celebrate the scrutinies. They are meant not only for catechumens,
but also for all of us who are growing in faith. In today's Gospel, we see the Samaritan woman coming to faith. The steps she
takes are our steps, too. Though she needs Jesus' help, he approaches her first. In asking her for a drink, he is really thirsting
for her faith. He invites us to make the journey of faith long before we start by putting us into a faithful family, giving us a
curious heart that seeks the truth, sending us a friend or spouse whose example draws us to the Lord. The next step is ac-
knowledging our need and our sinfulness. The woman does this when she asks for living water and faces her behavior in hav-
ing five husbands. Admitting our need for God, and especially for God's forgiveness, opens us to God's saving grace. Another
step is drawing closer to God in prayer. That explains the odd question about worshiping on a mountain. Jesus tells the
woman, and us, that the best worship is honest and from the Spirit. That is more important than when or where we pray.
God hears the prayers of a small congregation in a rural chapel just as well those of a thousand people in a large cathedral.
When we begin to share our faith with others, we take the step of living our faith. We make a difference in someone else's
life and they begin to experience Jesus presence. Like the woman who told her neighbors about Jesus, we find that the peo-
ple we have touched begin to find the Lord on their own. Our catechumens are taking these steps now, thanks to those who
have helped them experience Jesus' invitation to faith.
