GOSPEL
Whoever drinks the water I give, will never thirst again.
John 4:5-42
- In the story of the Samaritan woman, Jesus uses water as a symbol of God’s revelation and God’s Spirit.
- The exchange between Jesus and the woman causes conversion to take place.
- The woman identifies Jesus several times, each time with greater understanding. First, he was a Jewish man, then a prophet, and finally she makes a comment about the Messiah.
FIRST READING
Is the Lord in our midst or not?
Exodus 17:3-7
- In the Exodus reading, the Israelites grumble about their experience in the desert.
- Their thirst represents Israel’s real question, “Why did God make us leave Egypt?”
- Yahweh responds graciously to the needs of the people.
SECOND READING
We are at peace with God through Christ
Romans 5:1-2, 5-8
- The wonder of God’s free gift of salvation in Jesus is subject of the passage from Paul’s Letter to the Romans.
- God responds to our need with compassion and mercy.
- God’s love is poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
