Indeed, Jesus is the response to our thirst. As he suggested to the Samaritan woman, the encounter with him stirs in the depths of each person “a spring of water gushing up to eternal life” (Jn 4:14).
How many people in the entire world are searching even today for this spiritual spring!
“Sometimes I am there too,” writes the young Etty Hillesum in her diary. “But more often stones and grit block the well, and God is buried beneath. Then he must be dug out again.” Dear friends, there is no energy better spent than that dedicated to freeing our heart. For this reason, Lent is a gift: …and now we are able to intensify the journey!
