Wedding Feast at Cana 2 More than a Wedding Party: • We will now focus specifically on John 2:1-11. • Not Just a story about a wedding • No explicit mention nor naming of the bride and the groom. • John wants us to look deeper. • Here the wedding is an “earthly event” which John uses to reveal a “divine mystery”. • The miracle of Cana is more than an obedient (to His mother) or generous act (to wedding party) by Jesus; it is rather the initiation of the Father’s final act, in His plan for salvation. • It’s more than a miracle at a wedding party. The Wedding Feast at Cana – John 2:1-11 3 1 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 [And] Jesus said to her, “Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servers, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6 Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons. 7 Jesus told them, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim. 8 Then he told them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it. 9 And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in Him.

  • SERMON- Palm Sunday (B) Good Shepherd Charles R
    SERMON- Palm Sunday (B) Good Shepherd Charles R. Cowherd March 28, 2021 Mark 11:1-11 Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29; Philippians 2:5-11 or Mark 15:1-39, [40-47] Psalm 31:9-16 OPENING: Earlier this month, our very own Good Shepherd Players performed (online) the stage play, And Then There Were None, based on Agatha Christie’s famous 1939 novel. I enjoyed their rendition so much that I rented the recent BBC movie version from the library and watched it as I prepared for this Sunday and for Holy Week. It’s an interesting pairing. I am not an expert on Agatha Christie, but I know that her faith permeated her work. Throughout, there is the idea of a moral universe, a particularly Christian one, where good and evil exist and compete. Famously, with Christie, that meant that even the buttoned-up English countryside was rife with sin. She also expanded the genre by emphasizing that humanity’s sinfulness is so profound that even the great detectives and crime solvers of her books cannot restore the world to a state of goodness. Salvation, thus, always lies outside of ourselves.1 This all makes good Lenten reading, and especially today, as we get to the height of Palm Sunday and then the depths of Christ’s Passion. Getting back to And Then There Were None, Steve McBride infamously gave away its ending during announcements one Sunday by revealing that, quote: “Everyone dies in the end.” He later protested that that fact was, you know, in the title in the first place.

  • THE WEDDING FEAST at CANA (Jn 2:1-11)
    THE WEDDING FEAST AT CANA (Jn 2:1-11) By Jim Seghers John‟s ostensibly simple narrative of the wedding feast at Cana explodes in layers of meaning when it is examined in faith. This reflection proposes to offer some insights that may deepen your understanding and stimulate your discoveries in this rich passage. It is no accident that John begins his Gospel with the identical words that open the Bible: “In the beginning” (Gen 1:1). In the first chapter of Genesis the emphasis is on the ascending order of creation culminating in formation of Adam and Eve on the sixth day. In the recapitulation in second chapter of Genesis the emphasis shifts to the covenant God established with his favorite creatures to whom God gave dominion over the earth. This covenantal relationship is depicted in the Bible as a family bond or a marriage. In the first chapter of John‟s Gospel the evangelist lays out a literary new creation week. On the first day the Word who is God is depicted as coming to make a “new creation” (2 Cor 5:17). He is both “life” and the “light of men” paralleling the first day of creation in Genesis when God said: “Let there be light” (Jn 1:4; Gen 1:3). The first three days of John‟s literary creation week are laid out as follows: First Day: Jn 1:1-34 Second Day: Jn 1:29-34 beginning with the words: “The next day.” Third Day: Jn 1:35-42 beginning with the words: “The next day.” Fourth Day: Jn 1:43-51 beginning with the words: “The next day.” Seventh Day: Jn 2:1-11 wedding at Cana Chapter two introduces the marriage at Cana with the words: “On the third day” (Jn 2:1).

  • The Wedding at Cana: John 2:1-11
    The Wedding at Cana: John 2:1-11 1. Why did Jesus make his inaugural sign a miracle which is hidden from any but the disciples? Why make it contingent on Mary’s persistence? If Mary hadn’t made her request and persisted after Jesus’ first reply, would Jesus still have performed this sign which is so central to his message about the end of the ceremonial law and the coming Messianic feast (cf. Isaiah 25)? 2. Mary knew Jesus, and knew to press even after his first response. What is Mary telling us about Jesus? 3. What is the honor-shame dynamic in this passage? Remember that Jesus didn’t just provide an abundance of fine wine, he also made it impossible for the guests to both remain at the wedding and participate in ceremonial cleansing rites.1 4. Several passages lie between the first and second signs. Are these any ways in which the following passages recall or expand on the Wedding? (a) Jesus cleanses the temple (2:13-25); (b) Jesus and Nicodemus (3:1-21); John the Baptist and Jesus (3:22-36); (c) the Samaritan woman (4:1-42). 5. Jesus has warned of hardship for those who follow the Son of Man, who has no place to lay his head (Lk 9:58). At the same time Jesus dined with dozens of outcasts, fed thousands of followers and probably healed as many or more, and here we see him providing more excellent wine than one person could drink in a year. One could easily conclude that if Jesus is able to generously answer our requests, he is very glad to do so.

  • May 2021 INM FMA/Pro.Cir.47
    May 2021 INM FMA/Pro.Cir.47 Viva Gesu`! “…There was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.” Jn 2:1 My Dearest Sisters, [Affectionate greetings to you from Kodambakkam! We begin the month of May popularly known as the month of Mary with the feast of St Joseph the worker. As the dreadful second wave of Covid-19 is tossing our world, our country, our State, our communities, families and our neighbourhood, we turn our gaze to our God who is our refuge, shield, and strength. We entrust ourselves to the paternal protection of St Joseph and the maternal care of Mother Mary and implore the mercy and compassion of God on the suffering humanity. St Joseph the foster father of Jesus and the husband of the Virgin Mary is the patron saint of workers and craftsmen and was declared patron of the universal church by Pope Pius IX in 1870. St Joseph was a carpenter who earned an honest living to provide for his family. From him, Jesus learnt the value of work, the dignity and joy of what it means to eat bread that is the fruit of one’s labour. Pope Francis in his Apostolic Letter Patris Corde narrates very beautifully the hard, diligent, and dignified work of St Joseph and the salvific role of work under the title “A working father”. In 1955 Pope Pius XII established the Feast of St Joseph the Worker on 1 May as a counter-celebration to the communists’ May Day. Today, the majority of countries around the world celebrate this day as International Worker’s Day or Labour Day.

  • The Miracle at the Wedding in Cana
    The Miracle at the Wedding in Cana Biblical text: John 2:1-11 Fr. Lorenzo’s commentary: Like many stories from the Bible, the story of the wedding in Cana can be read on so many levels: as a miraculous manifestation (“epiphany”) of Christ’s glory and power (note its occurrence “on the third day” [2:1]); as a proof of Christ’s blessing of not only the instiution of marriage but of weddings and wedding receptions; and as an early example of Christ’s transformation of ordinary matter into something of surpassing excellence (not unlike the sacraments). My favorite aspect of the story, however, is perhaps how it sheds light on the relationship between Jesus and his mother. It is hard for me not to grin when I read Jesus’ query to Mary: “Woman, what is that to you and me?” Read with a certain tone of voice, one could imagine that as something that an exasperated Archie Bunker might say. “Woman” was a polite form of address in first- century Palestine; David Bentley Hart renders it “Madam” throughout his translation of the NT.
