Jesus didn’t hesitate to cross social, cultural and religious boundaries to share a word of hope with the Samaritan women. If Jesus meets us where we are, what are we willing to do to share that hope with others?

TALK: Consider some of these ideas:
… those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.” (John 4:14)
One thirsty Jewish rabbi on a long journey. One Samaritan woman by a water source. A perfect moment for the God of new life to dissolve age-old divisions. In baptism, we die to the old self to be born anew.
- Where do you draw living water?
- What nourishes your soul?
- Wonder: What nourishes God’s soul?
PRAY: Lord of all nations, you are the life-giving water we seek. Give us this water always, that we may no longer thirst after that which does not satisfy. We ask this in the name of the One who revives us daily, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
BLESS: May God fill you with living water. Amen.
