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

Saturday devotions to Mary









Saturday devotions to Mary


Question from on 06-16-2007:

Dear Father Levis,

Why is it that Saturday is
the day reserved especially for devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary?
Why Saturday, as opposed to some other day of the week?

Many thanks for your dedication to answering our questions. I learn so much here.
Amy



Answer by Fr. Robert J. Levis on 06-17-2007:
Dear Amy, The Church for centuries selects
Saturday for a special devotion to Our Lady. E.g. In the priests'
breviary, of Liturgy of the HOUrs, there is a special office dedicated
to Mary, called "Memorial to the Blessed Virgin on Saturday". In
addition since about 1925, the seer of Fatima taught that Jesus
insisted with her on the 5 First Saturdays devoted to Mary, her Rosary,
and confession. Fr. Bob Levis
