"Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.

Her story and other scripture passages that speak of living water will help us consider what it means to live a baptismal life. Although a person is baptized only once, living out of what baptism means continues as the Christian's primary vocation or calling in the world.
