The Samaritan woman

This piece illustrates the Parable of the Samaritan Woman (John 4:1-42), providing us with a perspective from above, God's perspective, as the Sower and the Feeding of the 4,000. Christ is depicted as the Omniscient One - the Overseeing Eye of the Creation, as the Bread of Life and the Source of Eternal Water of Life - the most essential to sustain our lives. His hands outpour the water that goes through a Cross-shaped Fountain of Life of the Holy Spirit. The woman below, the Samaritan Woman, holds the chalice to gather that Living Water of Eternal Life.  In a way, the illustration provides a perspective of the equally significant role of women in the Church as those who give physical life and nourishment to humanity. It is the Holy Spirit of Baptism that give a second birth to the person of faith. Christ gives us freely the Water that satisfies all our needs and thirst, as He said that "whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
