1 READ & REFLECT! Listen & Learn with Jesus, the Word!
Jesus came to a town called Sychar and, tired by the journey, sat down besides Jacob’s
well. A Samaritan woman came to fill her jug with water from the well. Jesus asked her
for a drink and said: “Whoever drinks the water from this well will get thirsty again; but
anyone who drinks the living water that I shall give will never be thirsty again: the water
that I shall give will be like a spring of flowing water inside them that gives everlasting
life.” “Sir,” said the woman, “please give me some of that water, so that I may never get
thirsty again.”
What is special about the water that Jesus offers?

2 SHARE & CARE! Growing in Goodness & Love : This Wednesday’s Words...
“God loves each of us as if there were
only one of us to love.” St Augustine of Hippo
God is love and all love comes from God. Ask your child what the words
‘God’s love’ mean to them. We can often see God’s love at work through
the goodness in people around us. Where does your child see God’s love
in action? Who does your child know who stands out as someone who
shares God’s love with others? How does that person show love? It may
help your child if you can give an example of your own.
GOD’S LOVE
The more we experience and share God’s love, the happier
we become. Each of you say how you usually experience
God’s love. Perhaps it is through: the love of your family or
other people; help from others; the sacraments; spending
time with Jesus in prayer, at home or in Church. Then each
of you choose a way in which you will especially share
God’s love with someone in this coming week.
Dear Lord Jesus, please help our family to grow in your love and to
share your love with others through the way we live our lives. Amen.

“Anyone who _ _ _ _ _ _ the living _ _ _ _ _ that
I shall _ _ _ _ will never be _ _ _ _ _ _ _ again.”
Through the person he was, and through his
teaching and miracles, Jesus showed people that
God’s love is for everyone. God shares his love with
us and calls us to share it with others too.
