Readings: Exodus 17: 3-7; Romans 5: 1-2. 5-8; John 4: 5-42
Gospel Passage: Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again; but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." (John 4: 13-14)
Meditation: We have drunk of the well of Jesus. We shall never be thirsty again and that water in us will become a spring welling up to eternal life. Moreover, In Jesus’ conversation with the Samaritan woman, he shows that he has crossed the borders of ethnicity, religions and cultures. Jesus reminds us that “God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship, too, in Spirit and truth.” (Jn 4:24)
Yet, frontiers and borders of religion, ethnicity and politics, often, confine our God. We are tied to a place or a sanctuary or rituals, yet the true God’s worship is in the heart and deeds by living the Truth that is Jesus Christ. Yes, God resides in our hearts and in our deeds!
