3rd Sunday in Lent

Discussion Question for Reading 1 Exodus 17:3-7, For the Israelites, to know someone's name meant that you knew the whole person. Your name and your reputation were inseparable. Your name told others something about your essential self. Therefore, to respect someone's person meant also to respect that person's name.  It was no different with God. What does "I am who am" tell us about God? Some scholars say that the real meaning of God's name could be, "I am the One who is, and is always there; I am always present for you."  How do you show respect for God's name and therefore God himself?
Discussion Questions for Reading 2 Romans 5:1-2, 5-8, In this reading, Saint Paul reminds us that, wonderful as it is to belong to a community of faith, just "going along" and doing what the community does is not enough. Each of us must believe and act from the heart. This is what conversion really means. Ask yourself: are my actions from the heart? Or do I act for other reasons--to please others, to be rewarded, to be noticed? What do you think would help you to act more often "from the heart"?
Discussion Questions for the Gospel John 4:5-15, 19b-26, 39a, 40-42 The season of Lent doesn't last forever. We need to turn toward God's reign right away if we are to truly celebrate Easter. How will you show that you have heard Jesus' words about reforming your life?  The parable of the fig tree reminds us that God is patient, too. He is willing to help us, as the man was willing to give the tree extra help so that it would grow. How do you need God to help you in order to change your life for the better? If God gives you another year of life, what do you want to be like a year from now?
