And at this moment his disciples arrived and were amazed that he was speaking with a woman. Though no-one said ‘What are you after?’ or ‘Why are you speaking to her?’ So the woman left her water jar and went to the village. She said to the people, ‘Come and see a man who told me everything that I have done, maybe he is the Christ?’ They left the village and started going to him.
Thank you, dear Jesus,
for all you have given me,
for all you have taken away from me,
for all you have left me.
Thomas More (c.1478-1535)
