How is your Lent going? This Lent, more than any other, God is giving us plenty of opportunities to dig deeper. Prayerfully ask God where He is calling you. Perhaps it’s giving alms by helping those struggling right now or perhaps it’s just being still. #thewelldesmoines #followHimtothedesert

"God will act – if not in stopping this virus, then in changing hearts (maybe even our own)! Love will triumph." Kristi Quinlan offers this spiritual reflection exercise to help guide our decisions and actions and also lift our hearts.

Lent can be challenging but now more so than ever. But it’s not about our circumstances but our attitude. It’s how we see and approach our situation (and Lent) that matters. #thewelldesmoines

Lent is a time of prayer. In this time of uncertainty, fear and frustration, remember to pray! Pray for those who may be forgotten, lonely or sick. Pray for those who work in the medical field, politics or for business owners who will suffer financially. Our current situation gives us endless opportunity for prayer! “For me prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.” St. Therese of Lisieux

Today’s Gospel reading is about Jesus’s encounter with the woman at the Well. Since many of us will miss today’s homily, we encourage you to read this reflection by Emily Schmid.

Also, our Family Soup Suppers series includes Gospel reflection questions as well as a link to the Sunday readings. We encourage you to take time today with your family to discuss missing Mass, how we can be helpers and sharers of light in these turbulent times and how we are called to be living water.

In light of Masses being cancelled today, here is a prayer of Spiritual communion:
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You have already come, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
