FOUNTAIN - "When Your Soul Feels Dry and Empty"
Your Divination
You feel spiritually parched. Like you’ve been running on empty for so long that you’ve forgotten what it feels like to be refreshed and alive inside.
Saintly Wisdom
Mary is the Fountain of Living Water because she always points us back to Jesus, the source of life. Even in her darkest moments, she never lost connection to the wellspring of God’s grace. She shows us that no matter how dry our souls feel, there’s always a way back to the water that never runs out.
The Fountain's Story with Mary
Mary is called “Fons Vitae” (Fountain of Life) because she brought Jesus, the Living Water, into the world. At the wedding in Cana, when the wine ran out, Mary told the servants “Do whatever He tells you”… and Jesus turned water into wine. This wasn’t just about a party… it was Mary showing us that when our joy runs dry, she knows exactly where to find more. Throughout history, many of Mary’s apparition sites have become sources of healing water: Lourdes, Fatima, Guadalupe. Mary appears near water because she wants to remind us that God’s grace flows constantly… we just need to know where to look. She is the fountain that never runs dry because she’s always connected to the Source.
The Prayer
“Fountain of Grace, my soul feels like a desert. I’ve been going through the motions, but I’ve lost the joy and life I once knew. Lead me back to the source of living water. Help me drink deeply from your Son’s love until my spirit is refreshed. Pour out your grace on my dry places and help me remember that I was made for more than just surviving. Amen.”
Practical Reflection
Spiritual dryness isn’t punishment… it’s an invitation to go deeper. Mary shows us that even in the desert seasons, God’s grace is still flowing beneath the surface.
Takeaway Mantra
“God’s grace flows through me like living water.”
Simple Action Step
Drink a full glass of water slowly while thinking about God’s grace filling the empty places in your soul. Do this every morning this week.
