 When Jesus changed water into wine in  order to keep the wedding festivities going  at Cana () he gave us an image that  is not easily forgotten. The story is  exuberant enough to be open to all sorts  of interpretation. A wedding feast in  Scripture, for one thing, suggests life with God, the time of the victory of God over  all that is wrong. The story in John tells us,  too, that the wedding celebration has  already begun; you can hear the tinkle of  glasses, the music and the uproarious  laughter of people at their happiest. = Elsewhere in John's Gospel we hear that Jesus came to bring us more abundant life (:10). The transformation that  Jesus the Messiah brings is not simply  in the future but present now. = One way in which he transforms life now is by showing us that God's grace is present here and now in all of life; that's what the presence of Christ in the bread and wine at Mass affirms. As a consequence all of life is potentially significant, full of meaning and value. Life has been changed as the water was. A moment’s thought, of course, will tell anyone of us that terrible injustices and unspeakable horrors still exist. Two yearolds die of cancer; work- ers in the thirdworld are enslaved; individu- als in our own country are wrongly impris- oned, etc.= If the world doesn’t seem so beautifully  transformed we need only look to ourselves  and our fellow humans for the deficiencies. =Still, God can be found not in extraordinary  signs in the heavens but in the routine of  daily life, in the faces and foibles of all we  meet. We can find God not only in the joy  and delight of life but also in the pain and  torment. God in Christ is there with us also.  What he did in coming to earth for thirty  some years in the first century tells us  what is true always. He is always "God with us." Fr. Don Talafous

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL 839-7952 Thoughts about being a disciple

Jesus had come to do the work of the Father. It is the fulfillment of the plan designed at creation, which was interrupted by the sin of our first parents. Our Call to Discipleship

Jesus shows his disciples the Our call to discipleship comes way the Father wants to heal and with our Baptism. In Baptism we are restore the Father’s plan. It will take given all the gifts that enable us to love, surrender, and ongoing fidelity. respond to this call effectively. Jesus illustrates those qualities and encourages his disciples to imitate In our Baptism we received the Gifts them. of the Holy Spirit, be which we can respond to the invitation of Christ to One of the elements of caution greater likeness to him as we grow is the reality that opposition is always in grace. These Gifts are always present in some form. As his time available to us. with his disciples continues, the reality of opposition becomes more That likeness can deepen with clear. When opposition becomes every challenge we face. Surely the very threatening, they try to deter him Gosples give us many instances in from his intention. which the disciples Jesus chose were challenged. He taught them how to Jesus makes the point, that respond, through parables, with he must now journey to Jerusalem, healings and with mercy. where his Father’s plan will be completed. It was in Jerusalem that Our life in the Church keeps the Father’s will is fulfilled us on the path of discipleship. Our personal dedication to the scrip- tures, to the liturgy, to learning Christ in new ways as our challenges change, and as we always pray for deeper personal dedication to Him, are ways we grow in living our baptismal discipleship.
