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 Ruthven E Jackie on 8/8/2008:

Hello,

Peace for the heart!

I recently read in the GIRM that there should only be one cross in the sanctuary either on the Altar or next to it but I noticed that you always have two during Mass on TV. Can you explain why for me please?

Shalom, Mr. Ruthven Jackie.

Answer by David Gregson on 9/29/2008:

The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (308) implies a single crucifix, namely one set on or near the altar. This wouldn't preclude, however, the entrance of a processional cross into the sanctuary, which is (I presume) the second cross you refer to."

    Does watching the mass on TV satisfy the commandment to keep the sabbath?

    Dear Anonymous,

    According to the forum in EWTN website, watching tv mass is for who cannot go to the church due to physically ill. I you need further clarification you may direct your question to that forum. Thanks

    Am I right in thinking that Palm Sunday and Passion Sunday were held on separate Sundays before Easter in the past?Palm Sunday two Sundays before Easter and Passion Sunday the Sunday preceeding Easter?

    If you would like people to make
    a donation to EWTN please think about making it a little easier...after all this is the electronic age with electronic banking etc. It seems to me the least you can do is put infomation on your web site that is easy to find...what a jumble
    you have at this time.

    Why do you say so much of the Mass in latin? Many people don't understand it including myself and I though the Mass was suppose to be said in the language the people understand like English???
