Welcome back to our fourth installment on Lent.  Today we focus on the recent Gospels and interpreting the meaning behind the lessons. A few examples...

• John's Gospel - Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well
• How we can't hear God if we're not listening; we need to remove distractions
• We don't give up sinfull things during Lent; we are supposed to do that anyway
• God will show us where we need improvement if we open ourselves up
• And if you are struggling in Lent, now is a great time to re-commit!

Enjoy!
