When Mary learned that the wine was nearly gone, she told Jesus what was happening. Immaculately conceived to bear our savior, Mary was intimately connected with Jesus since the moment the angel announced Jesus’ Incarnation in her womb. Like any mother, she had watched her son grow in faith. She knew in her heart that God had a special calling for him. When Mary told the servers at the wedding. “Do whatever he tells you,” she was saying the same thing to us. Mary spoke with confidence, knowing not only that Jesus could help this married couple, but also that he was destined for much more than this initial miracle. This mother who carried our Messiah in her womb, who watched him teach in the synagogue, who was present at Cana and who would stand alongside the Cross was Jesus’ first disciple. She has always called us to follow Jesus and to do his will in our lives. Jesus instructed the wedding servers to fill six large stone vessels with water. These jars were not normally used for weddings, but instead for the ceremonial washings required by Jewish tradition. The servers did as Jesus asked; they filled the jars all the way to the top. Next, Jesus told them to take out some of the liquid they had just poured. Imagine how surprised the waiters were when it was instantaneously turned into wine! Their boss, who had no idea where the extra wine came from, complimented the bride and groom. He was surprised that they had saved the best wine for last. Along with Mary, Jesus’ new disciples were watching this event, They were new disciples of this teacher, but this miracle helped them to believe in him and to give up everything to follow this Messiah.

The death of a loved one can be the most stressful event in a person’s life. A wide array of emotions can be
experienced, such as sadness, anger, anxiety, guilt and despair. There is no right way to grieve. Each
person experiences grief in his or her own way partly because of the relationship with the person who died. St. Bernard Parish invites you to set aside and hour of
your time for yourself sharing the suffering that accompanies grieving. We meet the third Saturday of
each month at 11:00am in the parish rectory. For more information please call 718-763-5533
