3 Levels of Human Life

The 3 levels of human life – vegetative, animal, and rational – are sustained by water, blood, and spirit respectively. Given on the cross from the human nature of Jesus, the conduit of divine life, is water and blood (Jn 19:34) and Spirit (Jn 19:30), to sacramentally nourish us in Baptism (water), Eucharist (blood), and Confirmation (Spirit).
.
“This is the one who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by water alone, but by water and blood. The Spirit is the one that testifies, and the Spirit is truth” (1 Jn 5:6).
