When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine. (And) Jesus said to her, Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come. His mother said to the servers, Do whatever he tells you. Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told them, Fill the jars with water. So they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter. So they took it. And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom and said to him, Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now. Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him. -The 2nd Luminous Mystery

How am I going to explain Creation to my child?

Document Title: "How am I going to explain Creation to my child?
Question from on 04-19-2007:
My son is asking all the questions I asked as a child and never had answered. For example, where do the dinosaurs fit into the creation story? If Adam and Eve were the first people then how come Cane and Abel seem to live among so many people? If the Bible says God created the world in 7 days and it's not exactly true, than why should I believe the bad angels got kicked out of heaven and sent to Hell? How do I explain the Bible to him? I don't really understand it myself.

Dear MPT,

I am sure that there are plenty of books out there. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Dr. Geraghty"
