The Living Water of the Holy Spirit

St. Cyril, Archbishop of Jerusalem (†386 A.D.)

The water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of living water, welling up into eternal life.” This is a new kind of water, a living, leaping water, welling up for those who are worthy. But why did Christ call the grace of the Spirit water? Because all things are dependent on water; plants and animals have their origin in water. Water comes down from Heaven as rain, and although it is always the same in itself, it produces may different effects, one in the palm tree, another in the vine, and so on throughout the whole of creation. It does not come down, now as one thing, now as another, but while remaining essentially the same, it adapts itself to the needs of every creature that receives it.

CONSECRATED BRONZE

In this issue of the magazine, Elif Batuman writes about the Russian bells that have been ringing at Harvard since the nineteen-thirties, and were recently returned to their original home at the Danilov monastery, in Moscow.
