Time to breathe and pray. Christ and Woman of Samaria by Luti, 1715-20, comes alive during 4-4-4 breathing, prayer, and Amazing Grace. Refreshes the mind and the spirit. Join in reciting the Lord’s Prayer silently or verbally as you breathe, listen to Amazing Grace, and watch Christ and the Woman of Samaria emerge from the shadows. Explore the amazing story of Jesus being thirsty. He asked a Samaritan woman for a drink of water, breaking the cultural codes of his day. Jesus’ conversation with the woman about “living water” opened her eyes and the eyes of those in her community. “Living water” minimizes thirst and has the capacity to plant seeds of faith and create relationships across differences. Read the whole story in John 4:5-15 and 25-26.
