Homily of Father Joseph Jukic โ Fatima Church, East Vancouver
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Today, I want to speak to you about one of Godโs greatest gifts to usโwater. Not just any water, but living water, the kind that flows pure and untouched from the earth, filled with the minerals and vitality that our bodies and souls need for healing.
Our Lord Himself said, โWhoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.โ (John 4:14) And just as Christ offers us spiritual water for our souls, He has also provided natural water for our bodiesโwater that restores, cleanses, and renews.
The Healing Power of Water
Not all water is the same. The water that comes from plastic bottles, treated with chemicals, or stripped of its natural mineralsโthis is not the water God intended for us. True healing water comes from natural springs, untouched by manโs interference.
- Mountain spring waterย carries the energy of the earth, rich in minerals like magnesium and calcium.
- Glacial meltwaterย is pristine, structured in a way that nourishes our cells.
- Holy water, blessed by prayer, carries not just physical purity but divine grace.
A Hidden Spring in North Vancouver
Right here in our own land, God has provided for us. In North Vancouver, there is a rock with a pipe where pure spring water flows freely. This is not just ordinary waterโit is a gift from the earth, untouched by pollution, full of life.
I urge you: go and drink from it. Take it home for your family. Use it for cooking, for tea, for prayer. You will feel the difference.
How to Find It
To help you, I tell you about findaspring.comโa website where people share the locations of natural springs all over the world. Go there, search for our local spring, and see for yourself the blessings God has placed in our midst.
A Call to Return to Godโs Creation
The world today is full of sickness, both physical and spiritual. But God has given us the remediesโthrough prayer, through faith, and through the natural blessings of this earth. Do not ignore them.
So, my dear flock, I leave you with this task: Seek out the living water. Drink deeply, not just with your body, but with your soul. And rememberโjust as the Samaritan woman at the well found salvation in Christโs words, we too can find healing in the waters He has provided.
May God bless you all. Amen.
