... flowing out from beneath the threshold of the temple ...
-- Ez 47:1-2, 8-9, 12
The worship "in Spirit and in truth"of
the New Covenant is not tied exclusively to any one place. The whole
earth is sacred and entrusted to the children of men. What matters above
all is that, when the faithful assemble in the same place, they are the
"living stones," gathered to be "built into a spiritual house." For the
Body of the risen Christ is the spiritual temple from which the source
of living water springs forth: incorporated into Christ by the Holy
Spirit, "we are the temple of the living God."
-- CCC 1179
