THE GOSPEL: John 4.5-42
A spring of water welling up to eternal life.’
The woman at the well seems to be a marginal figure, coming to draw water alone and in the heat of the day. Her encounter with Jesus causes her to leave her bucket behind, and what had seemed so essential for life now pales into insignificance compared to the new life and healing that faith in Christ brings.
PASTORAL LETTER ON THE ASSISTED SUICIDE BILL AT HOLYROOD
Our Bishops have issued a Pastoral Letter on assisted suicide. The letter is available by clicking on the download button below. On the back page of the letter, are details of how to contact our MSPs. It is very important that we continue to challenge the Bill in the Scottish Parliament and that we contact our MSPs and try to prevent the legislation at Holyrood from being passed.
It now looks as though the Assisted Suicide Bill at Westminster will fail as it is unlikely to be given the time necessary to return to the House of Commons.
