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

head covering on women

Question from Mary on 4/17/2008:

It is my understanding that it is disrespectful for women to wear a hat or covering on their heads to church. Is it appropriate to wear a hat or covering on ones head to church?

Answer by Fr. Jay Toborowsky on 4/25/2008:
I've never heard that it was "dis" respectful for women to wear a head covering in Church. Up until the 1970s, it was the norm for a woman to wear a head covering in church. We have lost all aspects of etiquette in our society, and I think people assume that, because we tell our men and boys to remove their hats when they are indoors, that women should do the same. Not so.
