From Pope Francis: <\/mark>\u201cThe promise of the living water that Jesus made to the Samaritan woman became a reality in His Passion: “blood and water” came out of his pierced ribs (John 19:34). Christ, the lamb immolated and resurrected, is the source from which the Holy Spirit springs, who remits sins and regenerates to new life. This gift is also the source of testimony. Like the Samaritan woman, anyone who encounters the living Jesus feels the need to tell others, so that everyone might arrive at the point of professing that Jesus “is truly the saviour of the world” (John 4.42), as that woman’s fellow townspeople later said. We too, generated in new life through Baptism, are called to testify to the life and hope that are within us. If our search and thirst find in Christ full contentment, we will manifest that salvation lies not in the “things” of this world, which eventually produce drought, but in the One who loved us and always loves us: Jesus our Saviour, in the living water that He offers us.\u201d (Angelus, 15 March 2020)<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
