“Come and Drink the Living Water.”

This 3rd Sunday of Lent, we are invited to encounter Jesus just like the Samaritan woman at the well. In the Gospel of John 4:5–42, Jesus offers not ordinary water, but Living Water that satisfies the deepest thirst of our hearts.

In our moments of weariness, doubts, and struggles, Christ meets us where we are and gently calls us to renewal and faith.

Let us gather as one community to listen to the Word of God, receive His grace, and allow Him to transform our lives.

May this Lenten season be a time to open our hearts, leave behind our burdens, and joyfully proclaim:
“Come and see the One who knows me and loves me.”

🙏 Join us this Sunday as we celebrate the Holy Eucharist.

Let us draw near to the well of God’s mercy and be filled with His Living Water.

🌿 2nd Sunday of Lent (Year A) 🌿
✨ The Transfiguration of the Lord
📅 March 1

📖 Sunday Readings:

Book of Genesis 12:1–4a

Book of Psalms 33

Second Epistle to Timothy 1:8b–10

Gospel of Matthew 17:1–9

Jesus was transfigured before Peter, James, and John, revealing His divine glory. The Father’s voice reminds us:
“Listen to Him.”

This Lent, climb the mountain through prayer, trust God’s call, and allow His light to strengthen you for life’s challenges.

🌿 “Way of the Cross” – A Journey of Love and Sacrifice ✝️

As we walk through this holy season of Lent, we are invited not just to remember the suffering of Christ, but to journey with Him.

“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves, take up their cross daily, and follow me.” – Luke 9:23

Every step of the Way of the Cross reminds us that Jesus carried His cross out of love for us. In every fall, we see our weaknesses. In every rise, we see His mercy. In every station, we discover hope.

✨ Let us pause.
✨ Let us reflect.
✨ Let us walk with Jesus.

🕓 All Sundays of Lent
📍 4:00 PM – Holy Cross Parish Patio

Come with your family and friends. Bring your prayers, your burdens, and your hopes. Let this be a time of renewal, repentance, and deeper faith.

May this Lenten journey draw us closer to the Heart of Christ.

🙏 See you and let us walk the Way of the Cross together.
