ACC ~ John 6 v34

THE DESIRE FOR BREAD AND WATER THAT NEVER FAIL

AUGUSTINE: As the Samaritan woman, to whom it was said, “Whoever drinks of this water shall never thirst,” thought he meant natural water and said, “Sir, give me this water,” thinking she might never be in want again; in the same way these people say, “O Lord, give us this bread” that refreshes and sustains us and yet never fails. TRACTATES ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 25.13. [1]
