watered by the flow from the sanctuary 

„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.” (EZ 47: 12)

How much more we received: „from His side flowed blood and water.” Much, much more than „the flow from the sanctuary.” Our Lord’s Blood and Body is our true medicine because by his stripes we are healed. Ezekiel spoke only about a shadow of the true mystery—the Church and the Sacraments, signs of the love of Our Lord

„A clean heart create for me, O God; give me back the joy of your salvation.” (Gospel Acclamation)
