"A Wedding at Cana"



(Lectionary scriptures ... John 2:1-12)

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.
