Because of our testimony

     Lent has begun, and yesterday I finished a chapter on John’s Gospel in the book Like a Hammer Shattering Rock: hearing the Gospels today. Author Megan McKenna summed up John’s Gospel with Jesus’ line, “I am the way, the truth and life.” She cites the encounter of the Samaritan women with Jesus and quotes, "Many Samaritans from that city came to believe in him because of the woman’s testimony.” May this Lent stimulate us to deepen our testimony to Jesus’ life, death and resurrection.
