Important Announcement – CORONAVIRUS
(Kawartha Natural Health Clinic)
Guidance on Coronavirus:
1. If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold.
2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.
3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 degrees. It hates the sun.
4. If someone sneezes with it, it takes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.
5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours - so if you come into contact with any metal surface
wash your hands as soon as you can with a bacterial soap.
6. On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. Normal laundry detergent will kill it.
7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice.
8. Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes, but - a lot can happen during
that time - you can rub your eyes; pick your nose
unwittingly and so on.
9. You should also gargle as prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.
10. Can't emphasize enough - drink plenty of water! The Symptoms:
1. It will first infect the throat, so you'll have a sore throat lasting 3/4 days
2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes
about 5-6 days further.
3. With the pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing.
4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you're drowning. It's imperative you then seek
immediate attention.

International Women’s Day
Yesica Patiachi Tayori of the Peru’s Harakbut Indigenous
community was invited to the Synod of Bishops for the Pan-
Amazon Region in October 2019. She said, “We, the Indigenous
peoples, have been, are and will always be the guardians of the
forest. But caring for our common home is everyone’s
responsibility, not just that of Indigenous peoples.”
Development and Peace’s partner, the Amazonian Centre for
Anthropology and Practical Application (CAAAP), helps the
Indigenous peoples of the Amazon ensure that their rights and
territories are respected. On this International Women's Day, let
us salute the courage of women like Yesica, who bravely lead
the defence of the land, water and people. Watch Yesica’s
testimony at www.devp.org/campaign/yesica

Gospel John 4.5-42 www.loyolapress.com Jesus reveals himself to the Samaritan woman at the well (shorter
form: John 4:5-15, 19b-26,39a,40-42).
Gospel Reflection
In today's Gospel, the dialogue between Jesus and a woman from
Samaria is among the most lengthy and most theological found in
Scripture. The most startling aspect of the conversation is that it
happens at all. Jesus, an observant Jew of that time, was expected
to avoid conversation with women in public. The animosity
between the Jews and the Samaritans should have prevented the
conversation as well. The woman herself alludes to the break from
tradition: “How can you, a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman, for a
drink?” Yet Jesus not only converses with the woman, he also asks
to share her drinking vessel, an action that makes him unclean
according to Jewish law. The initial conversation between Jesus
and the woman is better understood if we consider the importance
of water, especially in the climate of Israel. At first, the woman
understands Jesus' promise of “living water” in a literal sense: “Sir,
give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty or have to keep
coming here to draw water.” With no running water, the daily trip
to the well by the women of the community was of paramount
importance. The women of the town would have traveled to the
well in the early morning, but this woman came to the well at
noon, the hottest time of the day. The timing of her visit is a clear
sign that she is an outcast within the Samaritan community. We
learn in her conversation with Jesus that she is an outcast because
of her “many husbands.” Behind the conversation lies the
animosity and rivalry between the Jews and the Samaritans.
Samaritans shared Jewish ancestry, but Samaritans had
intermarried with foreigners when they lived under the rule of the
Assyrians. Samaritan religion included worship of Yahweh, but
was also influenced by the worship of other gods. When the Jews
refused Samaritan help in the building of the Temple at Jerusalem,
the Samaritans eventually built a temple for themselves at Mt.
Gerizim (the same mountain mentioned by the woman at the well).
Like the Jews, the Samaritans believed that a Messiah would come.
The high point of the conversation is when Jesus reveals himself to
her as the Messiah. His answer to the Samaritan woman's questions
about worship is meant to predict a time when worshiping in truth
and spirit will become the way to worship. The significance of the
encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman has many
levels. The first is personal: The woman is herself converted to
belief in Jesus as Messiah because he knows her sin but speaks
with her just the same. The second is social: Having come to know
Jesus as the Messiah, the Samaritan woman becomes an evangelist
to her own people.
Third Sunday of Lent: Question for Reflection:
How do you involve God when upon are in a crisis situation?
Action Response:
Dorothy Day once said: God does not give us the right to
discriminate between “deserving” and the “undeserving” poor.
Since God’s grace comes to us while we are still sinners, do a
gracious act for someone “undeserving” this week.

When you can’t get others to understand your point
of view, try to understand theirs. Maybe what you’re
saying and what they’re hearing are not the same.
Understanding can begin from either side.
