For the Third Sunday of Lent, 8 Mar 2026.
Focusing on the urgent need for peace in our world, we look to the example of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4). Just as Jesus broke through social barriers to offer "living water," we are called today to pursue peace through authentic and responsible dialogue.
**In this video:**
* **Pope Leo's Call for Peace:** Why true peace is built on dialogue, not weapons.
* **The Gospel Connection:** Jesus, the Samaritan woman, and the meaning of "living water."
* **Signs of Hope:** How small nations like Qatar and Oman are leading the way in international mediation.
* **A Prayer for the World:** Asking God for the tenacity to hold onto hope.
