Theme: Is the Lord in our midst or not?
1st
Reading: Exodus, chapter 17:3-7
God’s people tested the Lord through
bickering and various acts of impatience. By giving them water from the rock,
God is telling us that he, certainly, is in our midst, providing us with our needs,
even through seemingly impossible channels.
2nd
Reading: Paul’s letter to the Romans, chapter 5: 1-2, 5-8
God’s love for us is so
amazing that he gave us the grace of salvation through Christ, even at a time
when we were deep in sin.
Gospel
Reading: John, chapter 4: 5-42
The Samaritan woman’s
encounter with Jesus at the well teaches us several lessons, such as
acknowledging Jesus as the source of life-giving water for our souls; the
importance of attitude in our worship; and the necessity of regarding doing
God’s work as sufficient food for our journey.
