I saw water gushing from the temple, from the right side- Alleluia:
And all to whom this water comes are made saved and they will say- Alleluia!
Praise the Lord for He is good; for His mercy is forever…
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be. World without end. Amen.
Christ is the Living Water that gives us life and renews us and gives us life again when we have fallen and are in need of restoration. Pray in thanksgiving this day for all the wonderful graces the Risen Christ freely gives us. Also, keep in mind all those in our human family that lack not only the grace of faith in Christ but who are denied even the simple necessity of actual drinking water. All over the world water is rationed and the poor are gouged and can not afford to even drink their fill. In Africa, water in villages is often locked by mechanisms that can only be activated by money. This is a terrible thing and shameful for those of us in the industrial nations who allow this crime to continue. “Behold, when you did it to the least of my brothers, you did it to Me.”
O God, take away our complacency in living our privileged lives. Keep us in continual remembrance of our brothers and sisters who suffer and compel us, for love of You, to right action and humble prayer. In the Name of Jesus, He Who is the Living Water come down from heaven. Amen.
