Our Mission — Nuestra Misión

There was a wedding at Cana if Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples were also in-vited to the wedding. 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 af-fect me? My hour has not yet come”. His mother said to his servers, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial wash-ings, 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 head waiter.” So they took it. And when the head waiter 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, and inferior one,; but you have keep the good wine until now”. Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs at Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe him. (John 2, 1-12)
