I got behind in reading my Magnificat Lenten Companion, so you can imagine my surprise when I read the devotional for Sunday only to find it mapping on so well with what I wrote yesterday.  (Honest, I had not read it before posting.)  From Frances Hogan, commenting on the Gospel about the Samaritan woman:

God, who is every-present to his creation, is hidden in our daily encounters.  If we open our eyes we will meet him in a visit from a friend, or a “chance” encounter in our everyday lives.  He waits patiently for us to awaken to his presence and begin the life-changing dialogue with him, like the Samaritan woman at the well does.  He whispers to our souls, “If only you knew who is here.”   . . .

The Samaritan woman, at the beginning of the conversation, had no clue who she was talking to . . . and how true is that for us as well?  As I wrote yesterday: “Don’t miss God’s visitation to you in the midst of whatever you are facing.  He is surely there, and He will be found by you.”
