Christ Draws Near to Brokenhearted Saint Photini Life Example

In this Bible/adult study, Mr. Anthony Ally reflects on the compassionate encounter between Christ and Saint Photini, the Samaritan woman at the well, as a powerful example of how the Lord draws near to the brokenhearted. Once an outcast burdened by shame, Photini becomes a fearless evangelist after meeting the Messiah who knows her completely—and loves her still. Through Scripture and the tradition of the Church, we follow her transformation from woundedness to bold witness, and consider how Christ meets us in our own places of pain, offering healing, truth, and the living water that never runs dry.
