In today’s Gospel, many people come to know Jesus and believe in him because of the woman who meets him at the well. There are many things that might have prevented her from being a messenger who helped people to come to meet Jesus. Nevertheless, all she needed was to meet him herself! You are invited to meet Jesus in Mass on Sunday. Who in your life might come to know Jesus better because you spent this time with Jesus at Mass?
