Dear Parents and Carers,
In this Sunday’s Gospel we have a witty dialogue
between Jesus and the Samaritan woman drawing water
at the well, where each seems to be teasing the other.
Water is a sign of life. The ‘living water’ is the sign of
everything that Jesus offers us to satisfy our need of
God’s love and guidance. With its serious message,
this Sunday’s Gospel is a lovely example of Jesus’
willingness to engage with people just as they are –
and that includes us too!

God has no favourites; we are all loved equally by
God. The season of Lent presents a great opportunity
for everyone to enter afresh into the living and
nourishing water of God’s love which surpasses any
food or drink.
Enjoy hearing your child’s thoughts about this
Sunday’s Gospel and this Wednesday’s words,
which are GOD’S LOVE.

Jesus came to the Samaritan town
called Sychar and, tired by the journey,
sat straight down at Jacob’s well.
A Samaritan woman came to draw water.
Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.” She
was taken by surprise because Jews and
Samaritans rarely spoke to each other. She replied,
“What? You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman.
How can you ask me for a drink of water when Jews
and Samaritans don’t have anything to do with each
other?” Jesus replied: “If you only knew what God
is offering and who it is that is saying to you: ‘Give
me a drink,’ you would have been the one to ask, and
he would have given you living water.” “You have no
bucket, sir,” she answered, “and the well is deep:
how could you get this living water?” Jesus replied:
“Whoever drinks this water will get thirsty again; but
anyone who drinks the water that I shall give will
never be thirsty again: the water that I shall give will
turn into a spring inside them, welling up to eternal
life.” “Sir,” said the woman, “give me some of that
water, so that I may never get thirsty again.”
