Scripture Reading
John 4:13-14
Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
Reflection
At the well of Samaria, Jesus offered the woman what every Lenten soul truly thirsts for: a water that satisfies from the inside out. Our fasting and self-denial surface that deep thirst — stripping away substitutes until we know again what we truly need. Christ alone gives the living water. Lent is the journey back to the well.
Prayer for Today
Father, hear our prayers for the salvation of the world. Grant Mercy to all souls that turned away from You. Open their hearts and minds with Your light. Gather Your children from the east and the west, from the north and the south. Have mercy God on those who do not know You. Bring them out of darkness into Your light. You are our saving God Who leads us in our salvation. Protect us from evil. Bless and praise You Lord, hear our prayers and answer us. You, our Savior, are the hope of all the ends of the Earth and the distant seas. May Your way be known upon Earth; among all nations Your salvation. We put the world in Your hands; fill us with Your love. Grant us peace through Christ, our Lord. Amen!
Amen.
