Reflection of the Week - 23rd April 2024
While I claim no expert knowledge when it comes to sheep, I did find myself relating to Jesus in his role as the Good Shepherd in today's gospel (21st April).

Here is the enigma; too much water and the land is flooded; too little, and the land becomes parched and barren. The health of the land and its people depends upon just the right amount of water at the right time, and in the right place.
Reflection
“Jesus said to her, ‘Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become for them, a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.’
“The woman said to him, ‘Give me this water, that I may never be thirsty, or have to keep coming here to draw water’.”
– John 4:13,15
Respond
I thank you God, for draughts of cool and refreshing water. I thank you for the gift of Christ, the Living Water, satisfying my thirst for spiritual refreshment and forgiveness. Amen.
Action
There is no time like the present to come to the well.

Don’t you wonder sometimes how our covenant Lord who is God – Creator, Master, and Teacher, can and does create from nothing and does not need anything or anyone but is helplessly in love with you?
