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

Candle prayer

Question from mimi on 1/15/2008:

Someone asked about a candle prayer. O Blessed Lord and my beloved mother, Mary, please accept this burning candle as a sign of my faith and love for Thee. Like this candle, I am ready to be used in Thy service without asking why or to what purpose. Even as this candle, I wish to be consumed in the light and warmth of Thy love. Please hear my prayer and, if it is Thy will, grant my petition. But above all, make me loyal and faithful to Thee in all circumstances of life. Amen.
