Hello families! In today’s Gospel Reading, John 4:5-42, Jesus reveals himself to the Samaritan woman
at the well. Lent is a season for repentance. It is a season during which we are called to reflect upon and
to live deeply the promises of Baptism. The well and the conversation about water immediately recall for
us the Sacrament of Baptism. As the Samaritan woman was converted and sent on a mission because of
the conversation about water, we too are converted and sent by our Baptism to preach the good news of
Jesus to others.
Take this opportunity to reflect upon the importance of Baptism with your family. If you have photos
or other mementos of your family’s Baptisms, bring them out and take some time to recall the day of Baptism and its importance to you and your family.
Lenten Family Challenge – the Samaritan woman acknowledged her sins before Jesus in today’s Gospel
story. Go to confession as a family this week. (Remember the Act of Contrition you memorized a few
weeks ago!)
