Laudato si', mi' Signore per sora aqua,
la quale è multo utile, e humile, et pretiosa et casta
(Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Water,
which is very useful and humble and precious and chaste)
Jn 4, 10-14
Jesus answered and said to her [The Samaritan woman], “If you knew the gift of God and who is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” [The woman] said to him, “Sir, you do not even have a bucket and the well is deep; where then can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself with his children and his flocks?” Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again; but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life”.
(short meditation)
Laudato si', mi' Signore,
per sora aqua
(10 volte)
Glory be to the Father
and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning is now,
and ever shall be world without end.
Amen
