Theotokos Prayer Group 2023 - Third Sunday of Lent 12th March 2023

 

Gospel

John 4:5-42 ©

A spring of water welling up to eternal life 

... 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 him,
welling up to eternal life.’....

O Lord may the waters of your Spirit well up inside us.

Help us by your grace to persevere in following you that we may gain through your grace the reward of eternal life.

Help us to love you and our neighbour.

We adore you O Christ and we praise You because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world!
