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

Panama could pass a sex education law that violate parent rights

Panama could pass a sex education law that violate parent rights: "Panama could pass a sex education law that violate parent rights

Panama, Oct 7, 2008 / 01:21 pm (CNA).- The Church in Panama and several pro-family movements claim that pressure continues to remain in the country to pass a law of 'sexual and reproductive health.' The bill, endorsed by the government, reportedly violates the right of parents to educate their children according to their moral convictions.

In a recent statement, the Catholics Bishops Conference of Panama said that this project does not consider the ethical dimension of sexuality focused on values and moral virtues, which reveals the dignity of human beings as a whole.

According to the bishops, this bill ignores 'love' as a component of human sexuality; the complementarity of men and women; and it diminishes the family's role as the primary educator of children, ignoring the parents' work in the delicate matters of sexual and reproductive health of their children."
