Sermon Introduction –
This Sunday we are continuing our Lenten series on prayer as Natalie Larkin leads us in a spiritual practice called “Lectio Divina.” It is a way of diving deep into the scriptures and imagining ourselves as part of the Biblical story. How does the Holy Spirit speak to you in the scriptures?
Readings Introduction-
In today’s gospel the Samaritan woman asks Jesus for water, an image of our thirst for God. Jesus offers living water, a sign of God’s grace flowing from the waters of baptism. The early church used this gospel and those of the next two Sundays to deepen baptismal reflection during the final days of preparation before baptism at Easter. As we journey to the resurrection feast, Christ comes among us in word, bath, and meal—offering us the life-giving water of God’s mercy and forgiveness.
