2 From the Pastor s Desk Dear Folks, The Wedding at Cana evokes two important Scriptural symbols that point to the Messiahship of Jesus: First, wine in abundance was considered a sign for Israel of the Messianic age to come. The water in the six large stone jars used for the ritual washings mandated by the first covenant law is transformed by Jesus into Messianic wine, prefiguring the new covenant to be sealed in Jesus' blood, which we celebrate in the wine of the Eucharist. Second, the limitless love of God for his people is described throughout Scripture in terms of marriage. Today's first reading from Isaiah is a beautiful example of this tradition. It is the strongest, yet still far from perfect image we have to understand the depth of God's love for his holy people. As ministers of the marriage sacrament, husbands and wives, in their love for one another, mirror for all of us the great love of God in our midst. The evangelist John pulls together these two powerful Messianic symbols of wine and marriage to introduce the public ministry of Jesus, the promised Messiah and bridegroom. At Cana, Jesus offers for the first time the new wine of Gospel hope and re-creation. We, too, are called to see our world with eyes of faith in order that we might bring the possibilities of such hope -- hope that transforms hurt into reconciliation, despair into confidence, alienation into community. The love of God is manifested at its most powerful in the love between husband and wife, in marriages that are sacraments, in marriages in which Christ is the always-present Wedding Guest. Fr. Mike We welcome into our parish family Isla Grace Ikpe who was brought to the Lord through the Sacrament of Baptism last Sunday. May the grace of the sacrament remain with her always. Baptisms will be celebrated at Mass on the following weekends: February 16/17, April 13 (12:00 p.m. - Bishop Marconi presiding), April 27/28, May 18/19, June 8/9.
