Call to action By the end of this day, identify one part of your life that feels stuck or dead — and invite Jesus in. Take one step: Confession, prayer, Sacrament, reconciliation with someone. Don’t wait for the stone to roll — Jesus is already calling.

Practical Takeaway: This week, think about being DRAWN in by Jesus: Be intentional about it! Set aside time to pray, read Scripture, or just be still before Him. Ask Him to reveal where you are on this journey and what step He’s calling you to take next. In The Well of Life, Georges Chevrot describes the Samaritan woman’s transformation as a five-step journey – this is not only for our Catechumens (at the 11am) but for every one of us! 1) D for Desire: Jesus awakens a spiritual thirst (for living water) starting with a conversation about natural thirst. She allows herself to encounter Jesus and the trajectory of her life is changed. And she is so happy about it. 2) R for Realization: She begins to realize her sin and need for grace – for Jesus. He is not just a Saviour or a Saviour by he’s her Saviour (mine and yours). 3) A for Awareness: As their conversation develops she becomes aware of who Jesus is – in fact Jesus reveals himself more clearly to her than almost anyone he encounters – why? She is open and ready! 4) W for Worship – She shifts from a surface-level understanding of worship to a personal connection with God. 5) N for New Mission – She runs to share her experience, leading others to Jesus. She becomes a witness of the Good News, of Jesus!

Take Away: So, here’s the challenge: Live this Lent for love and you can do this by: Don’t just remember in your mind—remember in your actions. This week, choose one way you will “do the remembering” through prayer, fasting, or almsgiving. Write it down. Act on it. Love through it. Because true remembering leads to loving action.
