This reading forms part of the catechesis given before Baptism at Easter: the candidates who would go into the water are invited to reflect on what that means. But more necessary than the water which gives life is the water which gives eternal life &#8211; the water of baptism, the water flowing from Jesus&#8217; side on the cross. Even if your Church does not have any candidates preparing for Baptism, we will all renew our baptismal promises at Easter: we should take this opportunity to reflect on what baptism has given us, and what God has done for us in this gift.<\/p>\n<p>To view and download a copy of the Weekly Newsletter click <a href=\"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2023\/03\/190323 4ALent.pdf\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To view and download a copy of the Prayers of the Faithful click <a href=\"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/190323 4ALentBidding.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To make a donation click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygivinghub.com\/detailed\/donate?charity_id=1086324&amp;type=2&amp;reference=Y18&amp;amount=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fourth Sunday of Lent &#8211; Laetare Mothering Sunday &#8211;&nbsp; The Gospel of the third Sunday is the remarkable conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman by the well, the theme&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"excerpt-read-more btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/parish-newsletter-for-4th-sunday-of-lent-19th-march-2023\/\" title=\"ReadParish Newsletter for 4th Sunday of Lent 19th March 2023\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":17369,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17367"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17367"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17367\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17372,"href":"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17367\/revisions\/17372"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
