Salmo 95:1-2, 6-7, 8-9 Ramonos 5:1-2, 5-8

Jesus’ meeting with the Samaritan woman provides a

marvelous model for evangelization. First, he goes to her

land. He does not wait for her to find him; he goes out to

find her. We cannot wait for people to come to us. We

must venture forth from our church to find them wherev-

er they are.

Then, when she approaches the well Jesus begins to talk

to her. He does not wait for her to initiate a conversation.

Notice that he speaks to her about what she is doing. She

is going to the well and he asks her for water. He begins

a discussion of water that leads to the living water. The

woman wants such water, and she begins to turn toward

Jesus hoping he might be able to supply it.

When we engage our culture we must address it about its

own concerns. We engage it in dialogue around common

issues. And in that dialogue we will be able to indicate

some Christian values in such a way that they might at-

tract the person or group to want to know more. Like Je-

sus, we are making friends and inviting people rather

than arguing with them.

As the dialogue goes on, Jesus demonstrates that he

knows all about the woman and that he accepts her; he

doesn’t reject her as her fellow townspeople have. He

speaks to her of her own heritage and traditions in such a

way that he shows her the way to himself. But again he

leads her in such a way that she perceives an invitation to

pursue her quest rather than simply feeling she is wrong

and therefore at fault. The underlying tone Jesus uses

throughout this dialogue is one of engagement with the

person on her own level, an invitation to explore a deeper

level which will bring her closer to acknowledging the

Christ.

La reunión de Jesús con la mujer samaritana proporciona

un modelo maravilloso para la evangelización. Primero, él va

a su tierra. Él no espera que ella lo encuentre; él sale a bus-

carla. No podemos esperar a que la gente venga a nosotros.

Debemos aventurarnos desde nuestra iglesia para encontrar-

los donde sea que estén.

Luego,

cuando se acerca al pozo, Jesús comienza a hablar con ella.

Él no espera a que ella inicie una conversación. Observe que

él le habla sobre lo que está haciendo. Ella va al pozo y él le

pide agua. Comienza una discusión sobre el agua que con-

duce al agua viva. La mujer quiere tal agua,

y ella comienza a volverse hacia Jesús esperando que él

pueda suministrarlo.

Cuando comprometemos nuestra cultura, debemos abordarla

sobre sus propias preocupaciones. Lo entablamos en un

diálogo sobre problemas comunes. Y en ese diálogo podremos

indicar algunos valores cristianos de tal manera que puedan

atraer a la persona o grupo para querer saber más.

Al igual que Jesús, estamos haciendo amigos e invitando

personas en lugar de discutir con ellos.

A medida que continúa el diálogo, Jesús demuestra que él

sabe todo acerca de la mujer y que la acepta; él no la rechaza

Why is the season called Lent? Lent is the Old English word for spring. In almost all other languages, Lent’s name is a derivative of the Latin term quadragesima or “the forty days.”

Why is Lent approximately forty days long?

In the Bible, forty days is a traditional number of discipline, devotion, and preparation. Moses stayed on the mountain of God forty days (Ex. 24:18, 34:28). The spies were in the land forty days (Num. 13:25). Elijah trav-eled forty days before he reached the cave where he had his vision (1 Kgs. 19:8). Nineveh was given forty days to repent (Jonah 3:4). And, most significantly for our Lenten observance, Jesus spent forty days in wilderness pray-ing and fasting prior to undertaking his ministry (Matt. 4:2). Thus it is fitting for Christians to imitate him with a forty-day period of prayer and fasting to prepare to celebrate the climax of Christ’s ministry, Good Friday (the day of the crucifixion) and Easter Sunday (the day of the Resurrection).

¿Por qué la temporada se llama Cuaresma? Cuaresma es la antigua palabra inglesa para primavera. En casi todos los demás idiomas, el nombre de la Cuaresma es un derivado del término latino quadragesima o "los cuarenta días".

¿Por qué la Cuaresma dura aproximadamente cuarenta días?

En la Biblia, cuarenta días es un número tradicional de disciplina, devoción y preparación. Moisés se quedó en el monte de Dios cuarenta días (Ex. 24:18, 34:28). Los espías estuvieron en la tierra cuarenta días (Números 13:25). Elijah viajó cuarenta días antes de llegar a la cueva donde tuvo su visión (1 Reyes 19: 8). A Nínive se le dieron cuarenta días para arrepentirse (Jonás 3: 4). Y, lo más importante para nuestra observancia cuaresmal, Jesús pasó cuarenta días en el desierto orando y ayunando antes de emprender su ministerio (Mateo 4: 2). Por lo tanto, es aprop-iado que los cristianos lo imiten con un período de oración y ayuno de cuarenta días para prepararse para celebrar el clímax del ministerio de Cristo, el Viernes Santo (el día de la crucifixión) y el Domingo de Pascua (el día de la Res-urrección).

Due to our Governor declaring State of Emer-gency for the state of North Carolina We would like to ENCOURAGE everyone to please continue to focus on prevention prac-tices. Cover cough/sneezes, throwing away used

tissues. Wash your hands frequently, If water is not

available, use alcohol-based hand sanitiz-ers.

Maintain social distancing Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth If you have a fever, cough and difficulty

breathing, seek medical care early.

Debido a que nuestro Gobernador declaró el estado de emergencia para el estado de Caroli-na del Norte, nos gustaría ANIMAR a todos a que sigan concentrándose en las prácticas de prevención.

Cubra la tos / estornudos, tirando los pañue-

los usados. Lávese las manos con frecuencia. Si no hay

agua disponible, use desinfectantes para manos a base de alcohol.

Mantener el distanciamiento social. Evite tocarse los ojos, la nariz y la boca.

Si tiene fiebre, tos y dificultad para respi-rar, busque atención médica temprano.
