meaning and value. While the material world can provide
for our temporal needs, we will always have that deeper
longing that only God can answer. The woman of Samaria
found the true Living Water in Christ that satisfied her thirst

need to quench their spiritual thirst for God poses a matter
of greater importance. Truly, our personal relationship with
God through Jesus Christ is the only one that can give the
answer to every longing in the human heart. St. Augustine St. Columba School News
said it very precisely, “God, You have made us for
Yourself, our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”
