The meeting line of two major tectonic plates creates the
Riff Valley in East Africa. Then, slanting up north easterly it creates the
Gulf of Aqaba, the depression of the Arabah, the Dead Sea and the Jordan River
valley. In Ezekiel’s vision the water flowing from the east façade of the
temple tumbles 2500 feet down into the Arabah, from where it meets the sea at
Aqaba, turning the salt water fresh.
The water is God’s grace flowing out of the temple inside
the hearts of all who are enriched by prayer. And, what was true of the temple,
is also true of our churches. Enriched by prayer and the Blessed Sacrament we
can become vessels of God’s Grace for the outside world.
