From The Pulpit To The Streets (stdavidsacna)

For us, still pure and sparkling, those living waters flowOf which He told Samaria’s child long centuries ago:Forgetting thoughts of earthly pride, and hopes of worldly gain,Seek we but once of them to drink—we’ll never thirst again. Rosanna Eleanor Leprohon, "Our Saviour And The Samaritan Woman At The Well"In this week's Gospel, Jesus encounters a Samaritan woman. In her day and age, she was considered inferior in every sense of the word. Compounding to her ostracized status was her dubious reputation as a woman with five husbands.Breaking every barrier and revealing His very identity, Jesus offers her a new life and a new hope.
