3rd Sunday Lent (A) March 8, 2026 Exodus 17: 3-7; Psalm 95; Romans 5: 1-2,5-8; John 4: 5-42 By: Jude Siciliano, OP
Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.From today’s Gospel reading:
(Jesus said to the woman) “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and truth; and indeed, the Father seeks such people to worship him. God is Spirit, and those who worship God must worship in Spirit and truth.”
Reflection:
During Lent, regular churchgoers are invited to move beyond simply attending services or observing practices. Lent calls us to worship “in Spirit and truth” – to pray with sincerity, to come before God honestly, and to let the Spirit deepen our relationship with Him rather than just maintain habits.
So, we ask ourselves:
· When I gather for worship, do I come merely out of habit, or do I consciously invite God’s Spirit to renew my heart? · Does the way I live during the week reflect the truths I profess in church on Sunday? · Where might there be a disconnect?
