What am I thirsting for?

I love this image of Liz Lemon Swindle's work Drink and Never Thirst.  It is such a beautiful meditative interpretation of the meeting of Jesus with the Woman at the Well.  The expression on the woman's face speaks of grace, love, compassion and the finality of knowing that she has just met someone who would change her life forever.   The assuring hand clasp and the bent posture of Jesus, speaks of the gentleness and goodness he showered upon her.

I hope to sit a while today to let the Lord touch me, knowing everything about me, as he did of the woman at the well.   Still, he loves me, he searches me out and he offers me a drink too.   This drink is spiritual --- satisfying my longing for fulfillment and unconditional love.   Once I meet Christ and let him become the center of my life, I will never thirst for false fulfillment and satisfaction.  I will never be thirsty for these things again.

The trouble is that I know this and often forget what Christ is trying to tell me here.  I fall away from my resolutions and go thirsting after other things, forgetting what the Gospel teaches me.

I pray for the grace to do better this Lent.  I ask the unnamed woman at the well, to intercede for me.
