I have to get my CatholicMom posts in a week ahead of time; and then I forget about them. This one went live about two weeks ago, and I just remembered to link to it.

The Wedding at Cana is the Mystery of the Body: with all its faults, the Body is very, very good.

There’s a whole lot one can say about Jesus’ miracle at the wedding at Cana. There’s a link with the water of baptism and the wine-become-blood of the Holy Eucharist; there’s a link with the third day of creation and Christ’s three days in the tomb. And then there’s the basic fact: Jesus and his disciples and his mother went to a wedding; and Jesus’ first public miracle was done to spare the host embarrassment and to allow the guests to celebrate the wedding in proper style. And that turns out to be a crucial fact in the early development of Christianity.

There’s more at the link.
