The first sign Jesus accomplished was not an extraordinary healing or something prodigious in the temple of Jerusalem, but an action that responded to a simple and concrete need of common people. This is how God loves to act.
(Pope Francis)
God needs us to know our role within the church and to do it well. To answer the call to action when presented but also understand that the feast we are at is not about us; it’s about God and the greater church. It’s about all of us and the ways in which we can serve Christ’s mission. God also needs us to value the sacraments and understand that we partake in them not as social tools for political weaponisation or status. No, the good wine is not a resource for our egos, but rather an invitation towards holiness. So as we continue in this new year let us play our part for the greater good of our church and let us believe in the power of the good wine.
(Cristian Murphy)
