St. Agnes


The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
Day Four: Then the woman left her water jar (John 4:28)
Loving God, help us to learn from Jesus and the Samaritan that the encounter with the other opens for us new horizons of grace. Help us to break through our limits and embrace new challenges. Help us to go beyond fear in following the call of your Son. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
