Remember, Jesus, Lord, the day you looked for a well to stop at…
In the scorching midday sun, you spoke of living water that satisfied as well as quenched thirst.
And we, this evening, come to prayer as we come to the well,
We seek Your Presence as we seek the spring.
With Elijah, whose desire drove him to the torrent of Kerith, with Mary, whose eagerness to meet Elizabeth
set out through the mountains of Judea,
we too come to You.
May our very thirst be the impetus that moves us
may it set us on our way again and again, daring to believe that you are waiting for us, that you are the first to thirst,
thirsting to meet us.
