"Scripture is full of recurring images and themes. God uses the physical - bread and wine, light and darkness, water and blood - to reveal the spiritual. Consider water. Water flows through the pages of Scripture, making many different appearances. Like a theme in a symphony, one mention of water recalls its earlier appearances, yet each recurrence adds something new. Water's symbolic meaning grows throughout sacred history, beginning with water's natural properties. God then uses these properties to reveal himself and ultimately gives it a role in our salvation."
In a recent commentary, Brother Cyril Stola, O.P., reflected on the meaning of water in sacred history.To access Br. Cyril's complete post, please visit:
