Every afternoon she went out of the city to the well called Jacob’s well and filled her pitcher. There, one day, she met Jesus Christ, who revealed her whole life to her. The Lord said to the Saint that He is “the living water”, that is, the inexhaustible source of the Holy Spirit.

This “spiritual water” was given by the Lord to the Samaritan woman, who was baptized a Christian among the first women of Samaria and was named Light.
