The Samaritan Women

The reading that we read today (Sunday 23 March
2014) is very long. There are 38 verso (John 4:5-42). But, I think it is very
interesting to read. Jesus asked for the Samaritan women for a drink. “Give me
a drink,” said Jesus. They were meeting at the Jacob’s well. It is very
interesting because Jesus is the Jew and the women is the Samaritan. Two
different cultures.
I think the point of this reading is the
salvation for all human, all cultures. Jesus is a salvation. He invited the
Samaritan women to leave the perception between the Samaritan and the Jew.
Jesus comes to the world for all. Like He gives the water of eternal life for
all.
But it is not easy. We seldom bring the our
perception to others when we meet one another. I think we can leave our
perception. We live in the big world. We try to speak, to meet, to make the
relation one another liberally without the our negative perception.
This reading is important to read by them that
lives in Italia or America or Australia, where there was many persons come from
the different cultures. Through this reading, Jesus invited us to life the our
daily live without perception. Like He shows to us the conversation with the
Samaritan women. Like He shows to us the conversation with the Samaritan women.
