37 On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’”

Water is frequently used throughout Scripture to evidence the eternal supply of Divine Providence addressing all our needs available to all who follow the call of The Saviour to faithfully follow Him all the days of our life. In this context water purifies our life, sufficiently to ensure that we are supplied with all that we need to support our journey of faith.
The Sacrament of Baptism also evidences the cleansing of our life, initating us into new life in the care of Our Saviour. Our immersion into our relationship of faith in God's leadership is a life long process whereby of our own free will we embrace the call of The Saviour to follow Him through our journey of self discovery.
Streams of living Water heals, cleanses, energises and purifies the life of the human person quenching our thirst for that which is provided by Our Father, ensuring that we live the life that He has designed for our well being.
Divine Providence furnishes us with much more than drinking, and cleaning water with the awareness that the Divine Mystery knows well what our needs will be, dispensed per Our Father's optimum timing.
The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. ~ Isaiah 58:11
