Second Luminous Mystery - Christ's Self Manifestation at Cana
I desire to Do Whatever Jesus Says
Think of Christ's self-manifestation at the wedding at Cana when
He changed water into wine and opened the hearts of the disciples
to faith, thanks to the intervention of Mary, the first among
believers.
John 2
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.
