The theme of this year’s Lenten midweek prayer is “Holy Conversations with Jesus.” The Sunday lectionary for Lent reveals Jesus in conversation with friends, foreigners, and even adversaries. In tonight’s reading from John, Jesus encounters a Samaritan woman at the well and offers her “living water.” Changed by her conversation with him, she left her water jar at the well, and went to tell others about Jesus. She could leave her water jar behind because she now carried in her “a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.”
