At every Mass, we recall what Jesus did at the Last Supper. He gave his disciples his Body and Blood as food and drink. Yet the Mass is not a memorial of the Last Supper. It is a the death and resurrection of Christ that we remember and encounter in the Mass. If Jesus had not died on Calvary and risen again, no one would even remember that meal in the upper room. Similarly, if Christ had died for us on the Cross but never instituted the Eucharist, we would have no dining ritual like the one we actually have. Jesus himself linked his suffering with a meal. That’s why we do the same in memory of him.

DISCIPLE’S REFLECTION

GOSPEL WORD SEARCH CALL TO PRAYER DGEDSCJ YNE Begin by calling upon God: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy I RCTRZZEYA Spirit, Amen. Let us pause for a moment, and listen attentively to this week’s pas- sage. SAAAEUUNWY CBLBGMLORS THE WORD OF GOD IUPLNCPMTD John 4:5-42 Jesus came to a town of Samaria. PJTEASWLEE Jacob’s well was there. Jesus, tired LLESHMENES from his journey, sat down there at the well. It was about noon. EOKRCTRVCD A woman of Samaria came to draw SORLUUWROD water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.” The Samaritan woman said to MXA J TS I F ED him, UEMRNPALAZ “How can you, a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?” —For YNE I TTLLEM Jews use nothing in common with JVOUHAWAEZ Samaritans.— Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God and OCRECX LRLM who is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink, ‘ you would have asked him and he REREVOSSAP would have given you living water.” “Everyone who drinks this water will be NVRDKHUQGC thirsty again; but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal PEEHSHOUSE life.” SP I LLEDUOP The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.” RJEDDBGXJX UNDERSTOOD FAITH SHARING Children: Describe a time when you drank a whole bottle of water really fast— CHANGERS OXEN what caused your thirst? COINS PASSOVER Teens: Describe a time when you did not feel accepted. Adults: What are you thirsting for right now? DISCIPLES RECALLED In Gratitude: At Holy Family we might run into a person like the Woman at the DOVES SCRIPTURE Well, a part of the community and yet not so. How are we, like Jesus, called to welcome her/him? FATHER SHEEP HOUSE SPILLED CLOSING PRAYER JERUSALEM TABLES Grant, we pray, almighty God, that, always pondering spiritual things, we may carry JEWS TEMPLE out in both word and deed that which is pleasing to you.
