Welcome to this 3rd Sunday of Lent, where we continue to gather around the table. The table offered by Jesus is one, where everyone has access. At this table, no one should be excluded regardless of their identity, their origin, their views, association or any other. God’s hospitality is welcoming everyone from anywhere in the world. We also recognize that as we gather, our world is bleeding, burning and afraid. Peace is what we need. Let us ground ourselves in the presence of God. Like the Woman at the well, may we seek understanding, growth, holy wisdom and encouragement.
