Abstract

The digital world today is a new well of Sychar, where many people seek to quench their thirst for meaning, truth and communion. Inspired by the biblical symbolism of thirst and living water, this article proposes a reflection on digital mission as an urgent call to evangelize, dialogue, listen, accompany, bear witness, and transform. Digital mission is not just a tool, but an ecclesial vocation that calls for building community.
