Water.This is the recurrent theme of today’s liturgical readings (cf. Ez 47:1-9.12; Jn 5:1-3.5-16). Water that gradually rises and becomes a river that could not be crossed, but at the same time becomes a blessing, a source of life, for all the creatures touched by it.
It is the metaphor for the “life of grace,” offered by our Lord Jesus Christ to all who are ready to receive it.
The invitation to me today is how to become “water” to all I live and work with today: how to be a source of refreshment, energy, joy, life – perhaps with a simple smile, an encouraging word, a loving and comforting touch.
