Faith and Reflection: Unveiling the Lessons of the 3rd Sunday of Lent

Third Sunday of Lent: Living Water, Mercy, and Seeing Others as Jesus DoesOn Mary’s Message: Leading Hearts to Jesus Today, host Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston reflect on the Third Sunday of Lent readings, focusing on humanity’s deeper thirst for meaning, peace, and lasting love. Father Perry discusses the Israelites’ grumbling in the desert and God providing water from the rock through Moses, then connects it to Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well, emphasizing that Jesus accepts her without prejudice and offers “living water” that transforms her into a witness. They invite listeners to let go of empty substitutes like success, possessions, and approval, and to practice daily prayer, reconciliation and forgiveness, and service to those in need. The episode includes a prayer for peace, reflections on prejudice past and present, a reminder about the time change, and a call to refocus on Lent’s transformation as Holy Week approaches.00:00 Welcome to Marys Message00:47 Opening Prayer for Lent01:46 Thirst and Living Water03:57 Lenten Practices This Week04:20 Be at Peace Prayer05:21 Let Go and Accept Others06:30 Time Change and Updates08:15 Why Samaritans Were Hated10:36 Culture and Prejudice Today14:21 Back to Lent Focus16:05 Closing Prayer and Farewell🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.Inform the Travel Company that you heard about the Pilgrimage from this podcast.  Divine Mercy Pilgrimage Link - Poland November 2026Subscribe to our YT Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@BlessedMarysMessagesJOIN our Mailing LIST to get updates and be part of our prayer communityhttps://sendfox.com/blessedmarymessagesShow Sponsors:BlueVeil Wellness                                                               Balance.
