Third Sunday of Lent

Here are the readings for the 3rd Sunday in Lent, March 27, 2011:

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

Whoever drinks the water God gives, discovers a spring inside, welling up for eternal life. We are watered in Christ so that whatever is weak may be strengthened, whatever is broken restored, whatever is lost found, and what is found redeemed.
      -Celebrating the Rites (Foundations in Faith)

•  How have you experienced being an outcast, and for what reason? Who have you made an outcast, and why?
• What in your life feels parched, dry and stale?
• What do you thirst for? (justice, understanding, equality, holiness, peace, dignity, forgiveness, hope?)

This Sunday at the 5:30pm Mass, we will celebrate the First Scrutiny with our Elect. We will also present the Creed to our Elect; the great gift of our core beliefs which bind us as a people of Christ.
