Third Sunday of Lent Weekend
Jesus’ longest-recorded conversa on with anyone is the
one he has with the Samaritan woman at the well. She
discovers she can be honest with Jesus and goes and
tells others about him. She gives witness. She’s not the
most certain, thorough or even convincing witness. But
her witness is enough. It is invi ng, humble, nonjudgmental and sincere. What is the quality of our witness? How do our words and ac ons give daily tes mony on behalf of Christ? During this season of Lent, how
might we do a be er job at proclaiming the risen Lord in
word and deed?
