First Sunday of Lent - My Reflection

My Reflection on the Gospel.
- I have chosen to do a short summary about what the Gospel meant to me.
The Temptation of Jesus  - ( First Sunday of Lent )
*********************************
The Gospel tells me that Jesus was tempted by Satan during his time in the desert,  

but Jesus was strong enough to cope through the temptations, and reflect back on the scriptures in the bible,  and stay strong to his faith in God and ignore what Satan was trying to do to him.

Second Sunday of Lent

- Read the Gospel for the coming Sunday 
- Second Sunday of LENT, then answer the questions set for me.
**********************************************************************
Why was Jesus changed?
- Because Jesus got transfigured
How did the apostles feel?
- The Apostles felt Afraid
Who appeared with Jesus?
- Moses & Elijah  
What do you think Jesus wanted to show his apostles?

- I think Jesus wanted to show his apostles the transfiguration of Jesus.

The Third Sunday of Lent

I had to read the Gospel and then 
show that I understood 
it by answering these questions.
( The Third Sunday of Lent ) 
*****************
Think about the conversation between 
Jesus and the woman.

What is the water that Jesus talked about?
Jesus was talking about the water of Eternal Life.  That if you drink it, you will never become thirsty again.
Why was the woman reluctant to give Jesus water?
Because Jesus was a Jew, and she was a Samaritan.  And Samaritans & Jews are meant to have nothing to do with each other.
Why was the woman shocked in what Jesus said to her?

Because the water of eternal life is unbelievable, and so it had shocked the women.
