will draw water joyfully from the springs of salvation (Isaiah 12: 3) The ancient here in Sicily, they said that this was a house that was the tank and the furnace because they assure us the two essential elements for life: water and bread. In reality, the first thing to do was to build the tank for the home and make bread. In rocky areas the tanks were essential because was the only way to obtain supplies of water: the roofs collect rainwater. Many tanks could tell the history of villages, towns, districts, cities because most of their stories take place around them, which became the site of meetings, sociability, of civilized life. The strongest example comes from Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. much work, how hard the water, how carefully, how much attention. The tanks dug into rocky terrain requiring immense effort and expense but guaranteed the life and living. The houses were very small and the cost of the tank is much greater than that of the construction of the house. Then drive the arms and pulled on the water bucket after bucket for everything you need. The children were afraid of water into the bellies of those who responded by returning the land back the echo of their words, voices that stretched and expanded. When it rained a lot, tanks overflowed and spilled out of a special pipe, water more, becoming more beautiful image of the spiritual experience, feeling full of God, the fullness of heart that is overflowing.
Prayer is like a drop in the bucket to get to my heart for God that lies within and fills it. As you train to get more and more like a research fund deepens.
When our tank is empty, go to the tank of his brother to draw upon the depth of his life. The tragedy is the waterfront, to see it but unable to drink because we lack the pail or bucket so that our broke and can not take water. You feel bitter broken cisterns that can hold no water . (Gr 2, 13) empty tanks, dry, without water, empty time with an enormous echo chamber. Let God, driven by our empty tanks that make us crazy. The tank was full of life assurance. Makes me think of the heart: if it is empty everything is reflected there and amplifies, there is room for any anxiety and distress. If it is full it can no longer oppress and exceeds all from the fullness of life. We should be filled to the brim like the hydra of Qana because anyone can come and draw and there is for everyone, because everyone can calarvi their bucket, to be able to put your lips, after it pulled up filled with water and drink Fresh nell'arsura summer. Again Jesus at the well is an image that moves us to the profound humanity that expresses the need to drink because he is thirsty, and expects to find clean, fresh water that can restore his spirit. I need to get off the rope into the pit of my heart to find spiritual resources to express and share. But this can only happen if I have accumulated spiritual treasures, such as ants, who work so good in the season to keep Maria in the heart as the living water of the Spirit.
Welcoming the Word in abundance when the Lord gives me, because in the bad season can be well provided with abundant resources of prayer, worship and play where you can tap into at any time. When I feel full, I do not just walk in the world but flight, hardly touch the ground with their feet. When my spiritual resources consumption, little by little I am with difficulties to turn idle.
The heart is a source of full peace, security and courage. Life becomes easy and possible. When the tank is empty, pull up the water is always harder and harder. The water recedes more and requires more effort of the muscles. With full tank can take on any season of spiritual drought and aridity. Prayer is also our drinking well where the Lord makes plentiful find its waters fresh and clear. The Lord is in the bottom of my heart, I feel it and benefit to the bucket and draws are gently falling on your water, I feel that the Lord enters gently without doing violence to the already beautiful moment and a foretaste of the meeting, the contact and communion. And I'm there to sip drop by drop, slowly the prayer that comes as pure water that quenches thirst. The heart is hungry for prayer, and consumes absorbs easily, is never enough to fill it. My life then it should be emptied easily and which are increasingly going to need the Lord to fill large gaps with your great abundant water flowing from the bosom of those who believe in Him (cf.Gv, 4.14) Give to drink of Thee, O Lord. Her mouth opened wide: I aspire. What you say to me and to us is spirit and life. I get a mission to source: are you in I just squirt eternal life.
