Reflections
GOSPEL:
John 4: 5-15, 19-26, 39,
40-42
In this wonderful story from John’s
Gospel, Jesus gives the Samaritan woman at
the well the “living water” of
truth. A foreigner, she is hospitable to
Jesus and honest with him. In return, he
chooses to reveal to her the truth about
his identity. The woman rushes off to tell
everyone the good news that the Messiah
has come. And she is so convincing that
the Samaritans come to believe in Jesus on
her word.
1.) So
many people are searching for and
“thirsting for” the right
answers to life’s questions. Will you
share with them the “living
water” of truth that you have
received from Jesus? How?
2.) The
living water reminds us again of Baptism.
The living waters are the fountains of
eternal life within us. We are reminded of
this at funerals. At the door of the
church, the priest sprinkles holy water on
the coffin and says, “In the waters
of Baptism, N.(name) died with Christ and
rose with him to new life. May he/she now
share with him eternal glory.” How
does holy water remind you of Baptism?
When do you use holy
water?
