Spiritual Arms: Five Minutes for the Battle

We chase wealth, pleasure, power, honor...and somehow we're still thirsty. Why? Spiritual Arms explores Jesus' encounter with the woman at the well and His invitation to leave behind the broken cisterns of the world and drink from the fountain of living water. And we are not the only ones who thirst — the Catechism reminds us that God also thirsts for us! Discover what happens when God's thirst meets ours.

Revised Standard Version (RSV) translation

New Testament:

• John 4:5-15

Old Testament:

• Exodus 17:5-7

• Jeremiah 2:12-13

Catechism of the Catholic Church:

• Paragraph 2560

• Paragraph 2561

Takeaways:

• The water from the rock in Exodus points to Christ. Just as God provided water for the Israelites, Jesus gives us living water. His pierced side on the Cross poured out blood and water, fulfilling this deeper meaning.

• Like the Israelites, we can turn away from God while chasing worldly things such as wealth, pleasure, power, or status.

• Jesus invites us to return to Him, the Fountain of Living Water, who washes us clean and gives us new life.

• Like the woman at the well, we are called to share what Jesus has done for us and become messengers of His mercy and the Gospel.
