"Let us draw from the Divine Source that overflows eternally and is never exhausted" The Divine Source, in the caption on the holy card, is the eternal, ever-flowing Life of the Triune God. The lace nuances the meaning of the central image with the trifold symbol of the Trinity illustrating the interconnectedness of all who are engrafted into the Vine of Christ. Aware of the presence within each person's heart of the very being of God, we are eternally united with the Source of all goodness and all life.

Before the Incarnation, the Spirit acted through the prophets and others upon whom God's favor rested. After the Incarnation of Jesus Christ, by the power of His death and resurrection, the Spirit came to dwell in the heart of all believers. I believe it was in the story of the prophet Elijah that the thirst for the Living Waters was first described.

To quote Paul De la Croix, Carmelite Spirituality. June 6 2009 The disciples of Elijah "remembered this distinguishing note about him: He is the man whom the Spirit of Yahweh led into deep solitude and who, drawing waters from the "torrent of Carith ", drank from the rivers of living water and tasted, in contemplation, pleasures that are divine...Characterized by an awareness of the presence within man's heart of the very being of God, the spirit of Carmel also includes a sense of the sacred and a thirst for things divine."
