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

Quotes on Mary

S
cripture meditation: She can do all things; while unchanging herself, she makes all things new. Generation after generation she enters into holy souls, and turns them into friends of God and prophets. Wisdom 7:27

Reflection: We have recourse to Mary in prayer because she is by the side of God's throne as Mediatrix of Divine Grace. Most acceptable to God by worthiness and by merit, Mary is more powerful than all the Angels and Saints in heaven.

Pope Leo XIII (1810-1903AD)
Mini-Bio: pope: (1878-1903) Italian; pope, Jesuit. The United States at all times attracted the attention and admiration. Under Leo the religious orders developed wonderfully; new orders were founded, older ones increased.

Prayer: O Mary, inspire me to come to you in all my difficulties. Help me to be ever devoted to you and to receive the graces I need to be with you and your Divine Son in heaven.
