W e hear today of God’s unrelenting pursuit of us. Our readings tell stories

of God’s intense desire to share the divine life with us. From Exodus, we see how God shows endless persistence and compas-sion, even to those who grumble against God, or seem to have forgotten God. From the Gospel of John, we hear of how Jesus, in his extended conversation with the Sa-maritan woman, gives her dignity, names uncomfortable truths, and gradually leads her into a new path of faith. We can have confidence that as we bring our own confu-sions, fears, and failings to God, we may receive God’s mercy and forgiveness. God always persists and continually finds new ways to invite people into unity with God. As Paul describes in Romans, in the cross we see how God will go to any length to demonstrate the depth and breadth of di-vine love. HONEST AND OPEN WITH GOD The story of the Israelites’ grumbling and threatened revolt, and of God’s response in our reading from Exodus today, grapples with difficulties of the life of faith. Those who place their lives in the hands of God, as Israel did by following Moses into the desert, may soon face troubling and fearful moments. Sometimes we lose what we think we need, or somehow find it difficult to get what we really need. In our busy lives, it’s easy to gradually forget God’s presence and action among us.

Moses’ prayer to God and God’s compas-sionate response of providing water resolve

the situation. Perhaps it was Moses’ admi-rable honesty in his dialogue with God that made a difference. Moses “cried out to the Lord” and he didn’t know how God might respond. Honestly expressing our needs in prayer is essential to the life of faith. Wait-ing in openness to God’s response is equally important. WATER FOR OTHERS The story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman, like the passage from Exodus, speaks of tired and thirsty people. Jesus is tired and thirsty from his journey. The Sa-maritan woman is not only tired of the diffi-cult chore of obtaining water, but is thirsty for something more. Jesus presents himself as living water for her, able to satisfy a deeper thirst in her heart. Through his pa-tience and compassion, he opens a new wellspring of God’s sustenance for her. How might we, like Jesus, be water for oth-ers in our thirsty world? We can take some cues from Jesus here. Jesus crossed boundaries of gender, ethnicity, and reli-gious division. Jesus began in vulnerability, in need of hospitality from a stranger. His was a non-threatening, compassionate presence. Jesus did not begin by speaking about himself or God, but entered into ordi-nary conversation with her. He first at-tended to her practical realities and con-cerns, which led to deeper dialogue. Per-haps we have opportunities to follow Jesus’ example. Today’s Readings: Ex 17:3–7; Ps 95:1–2, 6–7, 8–9; Rom 5:1–2, 5–8; Jn 4:5–42 [5–15, 19b–26, 39a, 40–42]

¿Sabia Que? Más del 90 por ciento de los envenenamientos ocurren en el hogar. Los padres de familia deben saber cuáles son los mayores riesgos que corren los niños (¡especialmente los niños que ponen objetos en su boca!) y tra-bajar para erradicarios. El primero en la lista es el envenenamiento por plomo, especialmente en las casas antiguas donde se ha usado pintura o polvos a base de plomo. Las baterías de botones (redondas y planas) son pequeñas y brillantes, muy usadas en muchos juguetes y aparatos electrónicos regados por la casa. Tragarse una de estas puede ser fatal para los niños. Lo mismo ocurre con los liquidos limpiadores que se usan en la casa, como los detergentes empaquetados en pequeñas burbajas de plastic que se usan para lavar la ropa o los platos.

Con người mọi nơi mọi thời vẫn khao khát đi tìm Chân lý. Chân lý quan trọng đối với đời sống thiêng liêng, như nước cần cho sự sống hằng ngày. Trong cuộc tìm

kiếm này, có những khi người ta lầm lạc, chỉ nhìn thấy Chân lý qua những bóng hình mờ nhạt, thậm chí là ảo ảnh hão huyền. Bài đọc Cựu ước trong thánh lễ hôm nay muốn khẳng định với chúng ta: kiếm tìm Chân lý là một tiến trình lâu dài, đòi hỏi phải kiên nhẫn và vâng theo lệnh của Thiên Chúa.

Chúa Giêsu đã khởi đi từ nước thế gian tới nước hằng sống. Nước này là ân huệ Chúa ban nơi Đức Giêsu và là giáo huấn của Người. Giáo huấn đem lại cho con người niềm vui siêu nhiên và sự bình an trong tâm hồn. Nhờ nước hằng sống, con người không còn đi tìm kiếm một thần linh nào khác. Họ được gặp gỡ Thiên Chúa, Đấng họ tôn thờ, không phải ở đây hay ở kia, nhưng trong tinh thần và chân lý. Thánh Phaolô đã khẳng định: "Nhờ Đức Kitô Chúa chúng ta, con người trở nên công chính và được bình an với Thiên Chúa" (Bài đọc II)

Cũng như dân Do Thái trong hành trình sa mạc cần có nước để tồn tại, trong cuộc lữ hành thiêng liêng, chúng ta cũng cần có nước, nước hằng sống để lớn lên mỗi ngày. Mùa Chay giúp ta sống tinh thần sa mạc, phác họa 40 năm dân riêng trên đường về Đất hứa, 40 ngày Chúa Giêsu cầu nguyện trong hoang địa. Mùa Chay giúp ta định hướng cuộc đời, để tìm kiếm Chân lý, đón nhận dòng nước ân sủng Thiên Chúa ban qua Đức Giêsu. Một cách cụ thể, chúng ta đón nhận nước hằng sống qua các bí tích, nhất là bí tích Hòa giải và bí tích Thánh Thể. Nhờ hai bí tích này, chúng ta được đổi mới và được nuôi dưỡng bằng sức sống siêu nhiên.

Người phụ nữ Samaria sau khi gặp gỡ Chúa đã bỏ lại vò nước bên bờ giếng. Trước đó, mục đích của chị là đến giếng kín nước. Chị chạy vào thành, giới thiệu Chúa với những người trong thành. Chi tiết này gợi ý cho chúng ta, một khi sống tinh thần của Mùa Chay, chúng ta cũng có bổn phận đưa nhiều người khác đến với Chúa, giúp họ gặp gỡ Ngài và cùng với họ đón nhận nước trường sinh. Việc gặp gỡ Chúa phải dẫn chúng ta giao hòa với anh chị em xung quanh, mang cho họ niềm vui và an bình. Câu chuyện kết thúc với những hình ảnh tốt đẹp: những người dân trong thành Samaria (họ là những người dân ngoại!) đều tuyên xưng Chúa Giêsu là Đấng Cứu độ trần gian. Không còn nghi kỵ do mối thù truyền kiếp, không còn thành kiến mặc cảm về dòng dõi sắc tộc. Tất cả đều là con cái của Thiên Chúa. Câu chuyện mở ra một chân trời mới. Đó là viễn cảnh tương lai, hình ảnh của Nước Trời nơi trần gian.

Ngày hôm nay, ước gì anh em nghe tiếng Chúa! Người phán: “Các ngươi chớ cứng lòng.”

L a historia de las quejas y amenaza de sedición de los israelitas, y la respuesta de Dios en

nuestra lectura de hoy del libro del Éxodo, aborda las dificultades de la vida de fe. Aquellos que po-nen su vida en las manos de Dios, como Israel lo hizo al seguir a Moisés en el desierto, quizá pronto enfrenten momentos desconcertantes y terribles. Algunas veces, desperdiciamos lo que pensamos necesitar, o de alguna manera encontramos dificul-tades para obtener lo que realmente necesitamos. En nuestras vidas ocupadas, poco a poco es fácil olvidar la presencia y acción de Dios en medio de nosotros. La oración de Moisés y la respuesta compasiva de Dios al proveer agua resuelve la situación. Quizás fue la admirable honestidad de Moisés en su dia-logo con Dios lo que hizo la diferencia. Moisés “clamó fuertemente al Señor” y él no sabía cómo Dios podría responder. Honestamente expresando nuestras necesidades en oración es esencial en la vida de fe. Esperar en la apertura de la respuesta de Dios es igualmente importante. AGUA PARA LOS DEMÁS La historia de Jesús y la mujer samaritana, como el

pasaje del libro del Éxodo, habla de personas can-sadas y sedientas. Jesús está cansado y sediento de su viaje. La mujer samaritana no sólo está can-sada del quehacer difícil de obtener agua, sino que también está sedienta por algo más. Jesús se pre-senta ante ella a sí mismo como el agua viva, ca-paz de satisfacer una sed profunda en su corazón. Mediante su paciencia y compasión, él abre para ella un nuevo manantial del sustento de Dios. ¿Cómo podríamos, como Jesús, ser agua para otras personas en nuestro mundo sediento? Po-demos tomar algunas señales de Jesús aquí. Jesús cruza fronteras de género, etnicidad y di-visión religiosa. Jesús empieza vulnerable, con la necesidad de la hospitalidad de una desconocida. Su presencia era compasiva y no amenazante. Jesús no empezó hablando de sí mismo o de Dios, sino que entró en una conversación ordinaria con ella. Él primero atiende a sus necesidades prácti-cas y preocupaciones, que guían a un dialogo más profundo. Quizá tenemos la oportunidad de seguir el ejemplo de Jesús. Lecturas de hoy: Ex 17:3–7; Sal 95 (94):1–2, 6–7, 8–9; Rom 5:1–2, 5–8; Jn 4:5–42 [5–15, 19b–26, 39a, 40–42]
