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

Question from J P Edwards on 9/26/2008:

I wrote you a few days ago about a local legislator who is studying a plan to pay women on welfare a bonus to be sterilized and to pay college educated women a bonus to have more children.

Yesterday Archbishop Hughes released a statement saying that this plan is 'blatantly anti-life' and against the Church's teaching. I commend the Archbishop for speaking out on this and vowing to take the fight to the state capital with the full weight of the archdiocese behind him.

However there are some shocking statistics that have come to light since Rep. Labruzzo's plan was 'leaked' (according to him it isn't ready) Keeping in mind that southeast Louisiana is a historically Catholic area, accoring to a poll conducted by a local TV station yesterday 65% of people support this plan!! Also if you read some of the comments left on both articles there are people who not only applaud this but they are claiming to be Catholic and are attacking the Archbishop calling him the AntiChrist and attacking the Church saying that it is driving away a segment of the Catholic population by their stance on life issues.

I hope that all true Catholics loyal to the Church and the Magisterium pray for both this legislator and these misguided 'Catholics' that they return to the truth of the Church.
