Lent is a 40-day solemn Christian season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, starting on Ash Wednesday and ending before Easter. It commemorates Jesus Christ's 40 days of fasting and temptation in the wilderness, serving as a time for self-examination, repentance, and spiritual renewal in preparation for the Resurrection.

The Three Pillars:
The season emphasizes three main practices:
- Prayer: Deepening one's relationship with God.
- Fasting: Practicing self-discipline and self-denial (often giving up luxuries).
- Almsgiving: Sharing resources and acts of service to the needy.
- Lent is observed by Catholic, Orthodox, and many Protestant denominations as a significant period of returning to God through sacrifice and reflection.
- 3 Sunday of Lent - A - The Thirsty Man's Journey to the Well
  It is midday in the desert. Jesus arrives at the well. He is tired, hungry, and thirsty. At the well, he meets a Samaritan woman. Their dialogue is fascinating.
  Like the Samaritan woman, you and I journey toward the well of eternal life. There are three key actions on this journey: seeking, breaking free, and moving forward.
  1. Search.
  The life of a Samaritan woman is complicated. It's quite something to say she has a sixth husband. But when she encounters Jesus: she asks, she listens, she pleads, she seeks. She is happy and excited to have met the Messiah; the well of living water and the well of eternity.
  You and I have moments of exhaustion, lack of passion, boredom, apathy, frustration. You say: my life is very complicated. Today's Gospel reminds you and me that an accident, illness, chance encounter, sometimes a word can change our lives. You know, every moment is a good time to fight, to seek a solution, to win. Any reason is a good reason to try something new. The hardest thing is to break free from the cocoon of habits, especially those that provide security.
  2. The second key to this journey to the well is breaking free. The Samaritan woman breaks her habits, breaks the distance between herself and Jesus, breaks with tradition, and now desires the living water. The Samaritan woman's request is sincere and simple: “Sir, give me this water.” She knows that the water from this well will not quench her thirst for love, faith, and eternity.
  Now is Lent. Jesus awakens in you and me the desire to fast, pray, and give alms. But to achieve this, you must break with your routine, break free from addictions, negative emotions, and toxic relationships, and help and serve, offering your time. Only in this way can you give meaning to your life. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry says: “Thirst gave meaning to his steps toward the well, to his arms, to his eyes, and that is why the journey of the thirsty man to the well is like a poem.”
  3. The third key to the path to the well is to keep going. For the Samaritan woman, it doesn't matter that her life is in ruins, that she is stigmatized and isolated from society. She leaves a bucket and runs to tell others that she has found the fountain of eternity. Lent calls for acts of reparation, conversion, and penance. To be hungry, to have desire, is never passive. Those who hunger and thirst for eternal life are the ones who move forward, run, fight, and keep going.
  Dear friends!
  Today you reflect on your journey toward the well of eternity. You must discover, like the Samaritan woman, three key actions on your path: seek, break free, and move forward.
  I believe this path fascinates you.
  And, as Pope John Paul II said: “Everything will be alright, just put on comfortable shoes, because you have your whole life ahead of you.”

3 Domingo de Tiempo de Cuaresma - A - El camino del hombre sediento hacia el pozo.
Es mediodía en el desierto. Jesús llega al pozo. Está cansado, tiene hambre y sed. En el pozo encuentra una mujer Samaritana. Su diálogo es fascinante.
Como la mujer Samaritana, tú y yo recorres el camino hacia el pozo de la vida eterna. Hay tres acciones clave en este camino: buscar, romper, seguir adelante.
Buscar.
La vida de una mujer samaritana es complicada. Es bastante decir que tiene sexto marido. Pero cuando se encuentra con Jesus: pregunta, escucha, pide, busca. Ella está feliz y emocionada de haber conocido al Mesías; el pozo de agua viva y el pozo de la eternidad.
Tu y yo tienes momentos de agotamiento, falta de pasión, aburrimiento, apatía, frustración. Dices: mi vida es muy complicada. El Evangelio hoy recuerda a ti & a mi que un accidente, enfermedad, encuentro casual, a veces una palabra puede cambiar la vida. Sabes, que cada momento es bueno para luchar, para buscar una solución, para ganar. Cualquier razón es bueno para probar algo nuevo. Lo más difícil es liberarse del capullo de los hábitos, sobre todo de aquellos que dan seguridad.
Secundo clave de este camino a pozo es romper. La mujer samaritana rompe los hábitos, rompe la distancia entre Jesus, rompe la tradición y ahora desea la agua vida. La petición de la mujer samaritana es sincera y sencilla: “Señor, dame de esta agua”. Ella sabe que el agua de este pozo no saciará su sed de amor, fe y eternidad.
Ahora es Cuaresma. Jesús despierta en ti y en mi el deseo de ayunar, orar y dar limosna. Pero para lograrlo, tienes que romper con tu rutina, romper las adicciones, malas emociones, relaciones tóxicas y ayudar y servir, ofrecer un tiempo. Sólo así podrás darle sentido a tu vida. Antoine de Saint Exupery dice: “La sed dio sentido a sus pasos hacia el pozo, a sus brazos, a sus ojos, y por eso el viaje del sediento hacia el pozo es como un poema”.
Tercer clave de camino a pozo es seguir. Para la mujer Samaritana no le importa que su vida esté en ruinas, que esté estigmatizada y aislada de la sociedad. Deja un cubo y corre a decir a los demás que ha encontrado la fuente de la eternidad. La Cuaresma quiere actos de reparación, conversión y penitencia. Tener hambre, tener deseo nunca es algo pasivo. Quien tiene hambre y siente sed de vida eterna es quien que avanza, corre, lucha, sigue adelante.
Queridos!
Hoy reflexionas sobre tu camino hacia el pozo de la eternidad. Tienes que descubrir, como la mujer Samaritana, tres acciones clave en tu camino: buscar, romper, seguir adelante.
Creo que este camino te parece fascinante.
Y, como decía Papa - Juan Pablo II: “Todo estará bien, solo ponte zapatos cómodos, porque tienes toda tu vida por adelante”.
