"A WEDDING IN CANA ?"

(Please read John 2:1-11)

It was on the third day
when a mother heard her son
call her "Woman".
It would not be the last time.

It was on the third day
when people gathered
and with a great thirst
cried out, "What are we to do?"

It was on the third day
when the old ways of cleansing
took on a new look and fragrance.
The very best was spilled out for all.

It was on the third day
when a miracle occurred.
"Enough for everyone"was the miracle.
"Enough of the best for everyone!"

It was on the third day
when the glory of the Lord
was revealed ...
and the disciples believed.

And it was on the third day
when there was a great celebration
at a wedding in Cana ...
and at a tomb in Jerusalem ...
and within us all ...
forever more.

Amen.
