Through differences our hands can reach
To care and hold each other
There are no strangers for they are
Our siblings, sisters, brothers

Like the Hebrews in the wilderness, our fear of scarcity may cause us to struggle in our confidence in God’s provision as we seek our own promises along our life’s journey. In seeking to quench our thirst, like the figures in this image, perhaps we may find the provision of God in the grace of relief and from unexpected places that sharpen our faith.

We often see this Gospel story [Jesus meeting a Samaritan woman at the well] as a bridge-building one. It’s a reminder to be brave enough to cross boundaries and offer a drink to those society may separate from us. And it is. And also, it reminds us that God designed this whole world to run on benevolent connection. And that requires us to not just be charitable, but vulnerable.

—Rev. Danielle Shroyer (Danielle Shroyer ), from her commentary for the 3rd Sunday in Lent | A Sanctified Art LLC

God of our stories, the Samaritan woman offered her bucket. She offered her truth. She offered her testimony. Am I offering all that I have to give? Are there ways I can give more, or give differently? Am I offering care to my neighbors as well as to myself? The world can ask so much of us. Help me find the pathways to give what I can, and give with joy. Amen.

I noticed that, in most of the art, Jesus and the Samaritan woman are almost never on the same level... In this image, their body positioning is mirrored, with their eyes on the same plane. Where their arms overlap becomes a vibrant blue, creating a water drop with a dove in it, representing the living water that springs forth from their mutual need and relationship.

The image is subtly divided in half by slight shifts in color value. There is a chasm between them socially, culturally, religiously, etc. Referencing a primary dispute between the Jews and the Samaritans, their places of worship are in the background: on the left is the temple in Jerusalem, and on the right is Mount Gerizim.

Gracious God, sometimes your call is a tug to pay attention. Other times it comes as an invitation. No matter how it arrives, I don’t want to miss it! In the midst of a busy world, open my heart to you. Help me not only hear your call, but like Abraham and Sarah, give me the courage to follow your call. Amen.

I’m not sure exactly how we begin again,
but I know that moths wrap themselves in silk,
and after quite some time,
after many long nights,
after days spent alone,
they break out of their shell.
They pull themselves out under open sky,
and they spend the rest of their days chasing the light.

Every morning, every hour
Spirit gifts us with the power
To begin our life anew
What then will we choose to do?
Close a chapter, lift the pen
To once more begin again

—from the hymn “Begin Again” by Rev. Anna Strickland |

In this image, the globe subtly depicts the route that Abram and his wives, his children, his servants, and his animals took. The lines of countries are suggested as they ripple outward. Tools for navigation used to read the stars and the shadows are echoed below the globe. Stars in the corners represent the twelve tribes of Israel.

How do we begin again? Through the paper lace, the book of Genesis overlays a canvas. The text is hard to read, clouded by oil paint. How do we begin again? Listen through the haze, through the clouded reality, for God’s call. God is calling as we begin again.

— from the artist statement for "To Be a Blessing" by Hannah Garrity |

Ask yourself, “Do I believe in the possibility of new beginnings?” And, when the opportunities are revealed before you, “Will I be willing to step into the promise of what may be?”

—Rev. Bruce Reyes-Chow (), from his commentary for the 2nd Sunday in Lent A Sanctified Art LLC

Creator God, sometimes I have to stop and think about it—what am I learning these days? What is my body trying to teach me? What is my soul yearning for? If I’m not careful, I could ignore life’s lessons and simply carry on, but I want to do more than carry on. I want to grow. I want to learn. Help me learn. Amen.
