The people of Israel, like the Samaritan woman at the well, experienced physical and spiritual thirst. Jesus, meeting the woman at the well, offered her “living water,” symbolizing the deeper thirst for peace, mercy, and a fulfilling life that only He can satisfy. Lent is a season for encountering Christ, allowing Him to heal and transform us, and finding true fulfillment in Him.
The readings for this week focus on the shift from surface thirst to soul thirst, using the story of the Samaritan woman at the well as an example. Lent is a time to reflect on what truly satisfies us, beyond temporary fixes, and to seek the living water offered by Jesus. This week’s reflection questions encourage introspection about our true desires and how we can be a source of hope for others.
