This weekend at Mass we hear the story of the Women at the Well from John’s Gospel. This un-named woman in scripture can teach us a lot about how encountering Christ can change our perspective and have an impact on others.
The Woman at the Well encountered Christ while doing an ordinary everyday chore. We, too, can encounter Christ in everyday life. Christ is with us when we are doing laundry, eating dinner, studying for a test, writing a paper, lifting weights, running around the track, driving to our internship, and enjoying a stinger in the Beehive. If we dare to open our eyes and our ears to the people around us, we may be surprised that Christ dwells in them too. Relationships help us discover more about ourselves and experience Christ’s love and forgiveness.
After encountering Jesus and receiving his forgiveness and mercy, the woman ran into town to tell everyone about this stranger she met. We can only imagine the impact of her enthusiasm. I pray that we, too, experience Christ’s presence, His Love and His Forgiveness in our everyday lives and that we have the courage to share that Love and Forgiveness with others with great enthusiasm.
