In today's Gospel reading from John 4, Jesus told the the woman of Samaria by the well "whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” This statement really resonates with me because like the spring water Jesus does refresh my soul, especially when I receive him in the Holy Eucharist, and I do feel the constant surge or welling of the Holy Spirit within me. As the Lord said, the water he gives indeed quenches the thirst of the soul, but it also intensifies the soul's yearning for him. This is only natural, as once you have tasted something good, you desire even more of it.
