Living Water

Submitted by Rev Dr Elaine McCoy on August 16, 2006 - 9:13am.

Friends in Christ,

Today's daily office gospel from John (4:1-26) brings the good news of Jesus' *living water* to us and to the Samaritan woman at the well. When He invites her, and us, to drink of this water and gain life eternal, He invites us to worship neither on the mountain nor in Jerusalem but right here and right now, for the Messiah has come and is here.

If we have the Living Water, shall we not be the bearers of this news to the world? Shall we not be the bearers of this life-giving witness? Shall we not, therefore, confront death and proclaim life ... IN THE HERE AND NOW?

Here is one artist who helps us to join our spiritual longing with a genuine ability to know and act in the *here and now*.

Please listen to her plea and follow your spirit in truth:

God's peace be with you.
