stone jars

There were six stone jars in Cana of Galilee containing water used for ritual ablutions; there are also 'six stone jars' of purification found in a soul which, motivated by love, converts from vice to virtue:
contrition, confession, prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and sincere forgiveness.

~ St. Anthony of Padua
