What was the Samaritan woman looking for in those six men? Pope Benedict XVI wrote that “she thirsts for life itself and that all the assuaging that she seeks and finds cannot slake this living, elemental thirst…. There comes to light the real dilemma, the deep-seated waywardness, of her existence: she is brought face to face with herself.” What brings this about is an encounter with Jesus. From our own deep thirst for love, for salvation, for meaning, we give ourselves to the One who in his thirst asks us for a drink, just as he will thirst—thirst for our souls—from the cross. We firmly hope that at last we will “have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ”. Our “hope does not put us to shame”. The Lord is in our midst. Finally satisfaction can happen; this is the Love we have been waiting for.
