Today we celebrate the 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time. OT is our time in the whole history of the Church. At the beginning of Ordinary Time, we have the first sign from the public life of our Savior – the miracle at Marriage Feast at Cana.
The Lord himself told us that whatever we ask for in his name would be given to us. He always gives us much more than we ask for and much more than we deserve. At the wedding feast of Cana in Galilee the importance of the intercession of the Virgin Mary is highlighted.
The Eucharist is the one of the moments when we know for sure, that God is active in our lives. We have to come before God with our hearts open for him with love and invite him to our own life and ask him for the miracle of his presence in our daily lives.
““Jesus told them, ‘Fill the jars with water.’”

One Main Point
The changing of Old Testament water into messianic wine signifies the passing of the old into the new. The messianic era has arrived.
Reflections
- You are there when Mary goes to Jesus for help. What does this tell you about her character? What do you learn from her?
- Do you think Jesus is upset with His mother? Do you think you understand Him?
- Is there a time in your life when the “wine” ran out? How has Jesus replenished it for you?
