Third Sunday of Lent

Here are the readings for March 7, 2010, the Third Sunday of Lent:

Exodus 17: 3-7
Psalm 95: 1-2, 6-9 
Romans 5: 1-2, 5-8
John 4: 5-42


Do you notice something different this week? We are using the readings from Cycle A (rather than the usual Cycle C). Whenever a parish is blessed with people preparing for baptism at the Easter Vigil, we use the Scripture readings for Lectionary Cycle A for the 3rd, 4th and 5th Sundays of Lent. We do that because the themes of the Gospels speak directly to what baptism is for us, does for us, and does to us.
  • What in your life feels dry, parched, or arid these days? In other words, what are you thirsting for?
  • The Samaritan woman moved from isolation to confident interaction with others as a result of her conversation with Jesus. How does your faith, your relationship with Jesus, help you in your relationships with others?
