Cana, A Feast ofLove

Cana, A Feast of Love

Gathered together, bride, groom and guests,

Of whom one was both God and man;

Coming as man to leave a gift

Perfect as he, God himself.

They have no wine to drink,

Nothing but water in jugs,

To celebrate the joining together of man and woman;

If, but known, a humiliating sorrow.

The mother of the Bridegroom of Life

Whispers words of Eucharistic desire-

For wine so heavenly flowing

Into the hearts of all earthly guests.

“Do whatever he tells you,” she commands.

His words have power beyond human comprehension-

To change water into wine, to change wine into his blood.

Jesus the Lord today will reveal his glory!

Let every day be a wedding feast

Between Bridegroom and bride, between God and man;

To be filled with overflowing love, joy and hope

  Of The True Living Water.
