But she had been married five times, and the man she lived with now was not her husband. She knew the whispers. So she came alone, in the heat of the day, when no one else would be there.Except today, a Jewish man was sitting by the well. And he spoke to her.Give me a drink.Jews did not speak to Samaritans. Men did not speak to unknown women. But Jesus did. He told her about living water that would become a spring welling up to eternal life. She wanted it.Give me this water, she said.Then he told her everything she had done. He knew.

Could he be the Christ?📖 ReadingsFirst Reading: Exodus 17:3-7Responsorial: Psalm 95:1-2, 6-7, 8-9Second Reading: Romans 5:1-2, 5-8Gospel: John 4:5-42⏱️ Timeline00:00 Introduction00:15 Reading I - Exodus 17:3-701:15 Psalm Response - Psalm 9505:45 Reading II - Romans 5:1-2,5-806:36 Gospel - John 4:5-4211:10 Reflection - Give Me This Water🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?
