"I saw water flowing from the temple, and all who were touched by it were saved." (Cf Ezekiel 47: 1, 9).
"Along both banks of the river, fruit trees of every kind shall grow; their leaves shall not fade, nor their fruit fail.
Every month they shall bear fresh fruit, for they shall be watered by the flow from the sanctuary.
Their fruit shall serve for food, and their leaves for medicine.” (Ezekiel 47: 12).
Water and fire are popular images for the Holy Spirit. In the above Scripture, we are told that all types of blessings flow from the Sanctuary. The Sanctuary is where the Church calls upon the Holy Spirit to transform the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. From the Sanctuary flows the blessings of salvation to the waiting world.
