Giver of living water –
Tired out by the journey, You sit beside Jacob’s well. Thirsty at noon, You ask for a drink.
Through conversation with a woman, You reveal water that gushes up to eternal life…that the hour is now here for worshipping in spirit and truth…that You are the Messiah who proclaims all things to us.
May we be like this woman. May we ask You questions. May we hear Your prophetic voice. May we know Your identity. May we return to our city and tell the people, “Come and see…”
May we enter the labor begun by this woman’s testimony and see how the fields are ripe for harvesting fruit for eternal life.
Amen.
(The Third Sunday in Lent is March 12.)
