Signs & Symbols By Cynthia Reyes In our personal relationships we may think we know someone so well until something pro-found happens that stop us dead in our tracks. Never in our wildest dreams did we ever think by word or deed, our belief in them would change forever, becoming the pivotal mark where we part ways or grow in a deeper relationship with them. This is what happens in today’s gospel. Like in any wedding celebration there is much love flowing between the bride and groom, among their parents, and the invited guests. All are sending out joyous well wishes, drinking the best wine, however in this case, the last wine served was the best. The gospel writer takes note: “You have kept the good wine until now.” Jesus apparently out does the wine growers of his time. He saves the best for last, or does he really? He has acted at the persistence of his mother whom he calls, “woman.” Incidentally, the only other time that Jesus calls Mary “woman” is at the foot of the cross at his crucifixion. Jesus takes the empty jars, asks the servants to fill them with water, and he performs his first miracle, changing the water into wine: the sign and symbols of our sacramental lives as Catholics. Water and wine used in the Sacraments of Initiation of Baptism and Eucharist. Through these sac-raments we are born again. If we continue to read the Gospel of John we will continue to see in the person of Nicodemus that once again water and spirit are central to our existence as children of God. Profound symbols that shape and point to a greater reality of who Jesus is. We come to be-lieve as his followers, celebrating at our Eucharistic Table each and every Sunday. The greatest feast, Jesus himself! Señales y Símbolos Por Cynthia Reyes

En nuestras relaciones personales podemos pensar que conocemos a alguien tan bien hasta que suceda algo profundo que nos para absolutamente en nuestras pistas. Nunca en nuestros sueños más salvajes pensamos por palabra o hecho, que nuestra creencia en ellos cambiaría por siempre, donde cambiamos de opinión o crecemos en una relación más profunda con ellos.

Esto es qué sucede en evangelio de hoy. Como en cualquier celebración de una boda hay mu-cho amor que fluye entre la novia y el novio, entre sus padres, y los invitados. Todos envían los bien deseos felices, bebiendo el mejor vino, al menos en este caso, el ultimo vino que sirvieron era el mejor. El escritor del evangelio escribe y nota: “Has guardado el vino mejor hasta ahora.” Jesús cul-tiva el vino mas mejor que ni de los cultivadores de vino de su tiempo. ¿Ahorra el mejor para el últi-mo, o no? Él actúa a la persistencia de su madre que él llama, “mujer.” Incidentemente, el único caso que el llama a María “mujer” es cuando están en el pie de la cruz en su crucifixión.

Jesús toma los jarros vacíos, que pide a los criados que les llenen de agua, y él realiza su pri-mer milagro, cambiando el agua en el vino: la muestra y los símbolos de nuestras vidas sacramenta-les como católicos. Agua y el vino se usan en los sacramentos de la iniciación del bautismo y de la eucaristía. Con estos sacramentos nacemos otra vez. Si continuamos leyendo el evangelio de Juan que continuaremos viendo en la persona de Nicodemus que riegan de nuevo el agua y el espíritu que es central a nuestra existencia como hijos de Dios. Símbolos profundos que forma y a puntan a una mayor realidad de quién es Jesús. Venimos creer como sus seguidores, celebrando en nuestra Mesa de la eucarística cada domingo. ¡El banquete más grande, Jesús mismo!

DID YOU KNOW? Talk to your children about the fine line between obedience and protection Children learn from an early age that adults are figures of authority— teachers, police officers, bus drivers, babysitters. We need our children to listen to the people who are in charge of them, but this message must be communicated so that children know it’s okay to stick up for themselves too. Adult predators may try to use their authority to gain control over their victims. Children should know that when it comes to private parts, secrets, and things that seem dangerous or wrong, they shouldn't worry about disobeying the adult in charge, and to a trusted adult or a parent. For a copy of the VIRTUS® parent’s guide., visit http://www.archdiocese.org/org/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx. ¿SABIA QUE? Hable con sus hijos sobre la estrecha diferencia entre obediencia y protección Los niños apren-den desde la edad temprana que los adultos son figuras de autoridad: maestros, oficiales de policía, conductores de autobuses y niñeras. Necesitamos que nuestros niños escuchen a las personas que están a cargo de ellos, pero al mis-mo tiempo que sepan que esta bien defenderse por si mismos. Los depredadores adultos pueden tratar de usar su au-toridad para defenderse por si mismos. Los depredadores adultos pueden tratar de usar su autoridad para obtener con-trol sobre sus victimas. Los niños deben saber que cuando se trata de las partes privadas, secretos y cosas que parecen peligrosas o incorrectas no tienen que obedecer al adulto que esta a su cargo, sino deben hablar con un adulto de con-fianza p un padre de familia. Para obtener una copia de la guía para padres de VIRTUS®, visite http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx.
