Sunday of the Wedding at Cana
St. Valentine’s Day.
February 14th, 2010
أحد عرس قانا الجليل، عيد سان فالنتاين.
14 شباط سنة 2010
Gospel: John 2: 1 – 12 Readings: Romans 14: 14 – 23
This Sunday we are before the most holy of Sacraments. The Holy Spirit came upon the water and it was transformed into wine, just like during the Mass: wine into Blood, bread into the Body of Christ. We are invited to be transformed and be born anew in order to become children of the Kingdom which isn’t food and drink but righteousness, peace and rejoicing in the Holy Spirit.
The Kingdom of God is being far away from division, it is being able to settle our matters nicely, be brothers in Jesus Christ, and be one body in Christ.
We should not harm or judge one another. Just as Jesus’ word blessed the water transforming it into wine, the grace of Jesus blessed love and marriage.
Christ is the guarantee for our resurrection at the end of times. The Baptism transformed us to a new creation born of water and Spirit.
Jesus’ sign today is a gradual inspiration which works in our lives through fasting, desisting and praying. Fasting is the wedding of the faithful and desisting is his festive table.
