One reading of this well-known story would claim that it
defies convention. A man, a Jew, in open conversation with
a woman who is a Samaritan sets up an unheard-of scene. It
would be easy to say that the story’s novelty comes solely in the
fact that Jesus speaks to...

Lord Jesus, shine the light of your compassion and forgiveness in my life. May I thirst no more. Amen.

Resumen de la Escritura

All the readings af rm God’s benevolent care of those who place their well-being in God’s hands. While imperishable, God’s love can be frustrated by human pride and faithlessness. Water is an important symbol of God’s sustaining grace. In Exodus 17 the Israelites’ dependence on water becomes a statement about their dependence on God. The manner in which they obtain their water stands as commentary on human pride and arrogance. The psalm recounts this episode as a means of warning the people against the kind of obstinacy that impedes grace. John 4 focuses on the full actualization of God’s love in Jesus Christ through the “living water.” Paul speaks of God’s love being “poured into our hearts,” a grace that comes in the death and life of Jesus Christ.
