THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT, YEAR A, 2026
(Exodus 17:3-7; Ps 95(94); Romans 5:1-2, 5-8; John 4:5-42)
Theme: Our Gracious Encounter Is Sufficient, Draw Near and Testify.
Having followed the LORD’s instructions and quenched the thirst of God’s people, Moses named the place Massah andMeribah, because of the murmuring and quarrelling among the people and their testing of the LORD by asking, ‘Is the LORD among us or not?’
In the face of today’s challenges, we sometimes ask – and indeed, some have asked – Is the Lord among ustoday? Is He present in our world, burdened by conflicts, hardships, and widespread disorder? Is the Lord aware of the instability, fragmentation, and irreligiosity prevalent in many families? Does He have plans to improve our condition?
Our hearts are not hardened; therefore, we believe that it is the LORD who quenched the thirst of His people, revealed Himself warmly to the Samaritan woman, and welcomed her community into His fold, demonstrating that He loved us even when we were sinners and graciously granted us new life. Yes, He is the eternal rock who rescues us and remains close to usat all times. St. Paul reminds us that the Lord justified us by faith, granted us access to His presence, and filled us with hope for a better world both now and in eternity.
And so, we have moved beyond the idea of a non-existent God. For we understand the transcendent and immanent Lord is willing to quench our insatiable thirst for life, meaning, success, and happiness. Therefore, let us now pause to drink from His well of life; let us bow our heads and surrender to Him as the Samaritan woman did in today’s gospel.
Close your eyes and picture yourself with our Lord Jesus at His well, where He is asking for your heart. Are we willing to surrender for a deeper life of faith? He understands our concerns deeply—are you prepared to share them and seek a solution with Him? Will you hold back, knowing that the I Am who spoke to Moses and the Samaritan woman is speaking to you? The Samaritan woman did not fully understand Jesus’ identity, but still asked Him for living water and brought her community to Him. Are you ready to listen, to be committed, to testify for Him, and lead your family to Him?
