Beside the Well with Jesus
“If you knew the gift of God!” (John 4:10). The wonder of prayer is revealed beside the well where we come seeking water: there, Christ comes to meet every human being. It is he who first seeks us and asks us for a drink. Jesus thirsts; his asking arises from the depths of God’s desire for us. Whether we realize it or not, prayer is the encounter of God’s thirst with ours. God thirsts that we may thirst for him. CCC 2560
Jesus doesn’t just want to meet us in the sacraments, He wants to meet us at the well, alone, away from the crowd.
Jesus is always there, waiting for us.
