Monday:

   Jesus said to [the woman at the well], “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst; the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water, that welling up to eternal life.”

—John 4:13-14

Tuesday:

   “The Holy Spirit is like water, which seeks the lowest place. He comes only to the broken and humble heart.”

 —J. Heinrich Arnold

Wednesday:

   “If one wishes to live, the place is the body of Christ ("where"), and the source is the Spirit of Christ ("whence").”

—Edward J. Kilmartin

Thursday:

   “There are two kinds of spirit and they are like backward and forward. There is one spirit that man attains in the course of time. But there is another spirit that overwhelms man in great abundance, in great haste swifter than a moment for it is beyond time and for this spirit no time is needed.”

—Martin Buber

Friday:

   “Where the church is there is the Spirit of God; where the Spirit of God is there is the church and every grace. The Spirit is truth. Therefore those who do not share in the Spirit are neither nourished to live from the mother's breast nor do they enjoy that most clear fountain which springs from the body of Christ.”

—Irenaeus

Saturday:

The spirit
  likes to dress up like this:
   ten fingers,
     ten toes,

shoulders, and all the rest

—Mary Oliver

Sunday:

   “The life of sensation is the life of greed; it requires more and more. The life of the spirit requires less and less; time is ample and its passage sweet.”

—Annie Dillard
