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

Eucharistic Presence


Question from Jimmy on 2/19/2008:  
After consuming the Host, the accidents are changed metabolically as per usual, the substance, The Trinity infuses us with grace and remains unless the person has grave, un-confessed sin(s)in which case Our Lord leaves the person immediately. Also, if a person is lukewarm in faith, or grossly inattentive, the grace received is much reduced.Our Lord stays with us always unless or until one commits a mortal (grave) sin. As we are created in the image and likeness of God's Spiritual Form, this will make much more sense one we are in heaven. IMHO This is after all, just what Jesus promised.
