Adoration for the Unborn 10 AM-6 PM Church
From the Pastor’s Corner
CYCLE C JANUARY 17, 2016 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
J esus told them, 'Fill the jars with water.' So they filled
them to the brim." And then look what happened! The
water became wine! And not only that, but it became
"the good wine." Jesus transformed plain water into the
very best wine served at that wedding feast in Cana. And he
can do the same with our lives.
Sometimes, we come to Jesus with empty jars. We feel we have nothing to offer, that
our efforts have failed and our energy has run dry. It may seem impossible that anything good
could come out of our situation. Even our hope has often disappeared in these moments. But
today's Gospel should restore our confidence; we don't need to work the miracle. We just need to
"do whatever he tells" us.
In many cases, this will mean doing something that doesn't make sense on the
surface. The servers were probably skeptical that filling their jugs with water would have any
benefit. But they did it anyway. And they did it wholeheartedly, filling them up "to the brim." In
our moments of emptiness, we too need to do what Jesus asks of us, all the way, without
reservation. We need to continue to pray (even when we don't hear an answer). We need to
continue to participate in the sacraments (even when they don't seem to help). We need to
continue to follow the commandments (even when they strike us as difficult or irrelevant). We
need to continue to love our neighbors (even when they don't love us back). All of this is like
pouring water into those jars.
We simply need to do what Jesus asks of us and then allow him to do the rest.
Only when we are willing to follow his directions can he transform our emptiness
into an overabundance of joy.
Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
Our Father,
We seek you in so many ways and places in our life.
We seek you for guidance and for comfort.
But you have told us that when there is hunger, it is
up to us to feed the hungry.
We ask you to help us see you in other Christians
and humbly ask you for strength in the search for
what we have in common.
Bless our efforts to look at all the ways we are united
in faith,
and grant us courage to change our hearts and minds
to realize your will.
We ask all this through Christ our Lord and brother,
in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Spirit.
Amen.
