SURPRISES Life is full of surprises, some pleasant, some not. The scriptures are filled with stories of God’s surprises cropping up when they are least expected: younger children obtaining the inheritance; the lowliest being seated highest up; an itinerant preacher, killed like a criminal, exalted to eternal, heavenly glory. Anybody who has planned a wedding or similar event knows that they are filled with opportunities for surprises. For the bridegroom in today’s Gospel story, who has no direct contact with Jesus, the pleasant surprise came because somebody else paid attention and had faith in Jesus. We may think that the point of today’s familiar story of the wedding at Cana is that when we have faith in Jesus, our lives will be pleasantly changed. A Christian, however, needs to have a broader perspective and realize that to have faith in Christ means that somebody’s life—not necessarily our own—will be surprised for the better.
Reading 1 As a bridegroom rejoices in his bride, so God rejoices in the chosen Zion and Jerusalem (Isaiah 62:1-5).
Psalm Proclaim his marvelous deeds to all the nations (Psalm 96).
Reading 2 All the varied gifts and talents found in the Christian community are products of the same Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-11).
Gospel At a wedding festival in Cana, Jesus changes water into wine at his mother’s request (John 2:1-11).
Reading I The man said, “This one is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called ‘woman’” (Genisis 2:18-24). Psalm May the Lord bless us all the days of our lives (Psalm 128). Reading II He who consecrates and those who are being consecrated all have one origin (Hebrews 2:9-11) Gospel Whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it (Mark 10:2-16 [2-12]).
