Jesus said to them, ‘My food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to finish his work.”
After giving himself as living water to the Samaritan woman, our Lord instructed his disciples to “reap what they did not sow and share in the fruits of their work.” In the second reading, St. Paul points to the “love of God poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit” so that we can follow the example of Jesus…. that “while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Like Jesus, how can we be fed by doing the will of God, even when it comes at a great cost?
