Gospel Reading: John 4:1–42

Focus Verse: “A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, ‘Give Me a drink.’” (John 4:7, NKJV)

Meditation

She came with shame. She left with salvation.
She came with thirst. She left with rivers.
She came as a sinner. She left as a mother.

Early Church Fathers’ Saying

“She who came to draw water drew a city to the fountain of life. She became a mother of many through one encounter with Christ.”
— St. Gregory of Nyssa

Practical Practice

Today, become like her. Speak one word of truth about Christ to someone—at work, during lunch, or even in passing. A single encounter can draw a soul to the Fountain of Life.
