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

Filipino archbishop joins calls for president's resignation

 

Manila, Feb. 18, 2008 (CWNews.com) - A prominent prelate in the Philippines has joined in the calls for the resignation of President Gloria Arroyo Macapagal.

Archbishop Oscar Cruz said that a new government is needed to restore confidence among the nation's people and replace a "national leadership beyond redemption."

Although the archbishop did not mention President Arroyo by name, he said that public dissatisfaction has grown critical because of corruption charges against the government. "The court of public opinion has already formed a judgment," he said.
