Ina Catholic mass, what does the water mixed with wine symbolize?

In Catholic mass, the priest mixes water with wine prior to serving it as the blood of Jesus Christ. What does the water symbolize?|||Before the wine is consecrated, the priest or deacon adds a drop of water into the wine in the chalice.





The wine represents the divine nature of Christ





The water represents the human nature of Christ.





So that the mixing of the water and wine into one signifies the Incarnation of Christ.





And also the Crucifixion, when blood and water poured from His pierced side.





With love in Christ.|||It represents us. All of our lives. When we receive the wine, we are saying that we accept all. We are saying that we deny no one access to our love.
