Today is the 3rd Sunday of Lent. Gospel is JOHN 4: 5-15

----
Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an channel of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life. Amen.

VINCENTIAN MISSION PRAYER
Lord Jesus, 
transform me into yourself. 
May my hands be your hands/ 
may my words be your words. 
Grant that everything I do/ 
may serve only to glorify you. 
I pray you to destroy in me 
all that is not of you. 
Keep me turned to you 
and grateful in all things/ 
that I may live my life in you, 
and by you and for you-- 
and truly say with St. Paul, 
“I live now/not I/but Christ 
lives in me.” 
Amen.
