In
today's Gospel, Jesus is at a wedding feast where there is not enough
wine. There are six stone jars of water, which is used for washing of
hands and arms before people eat. Jesus is asked to help by his mother.
Jesus turns the water into wine.
When Jesus turns water into wine, this reminds us that he will die for
us. His blood will become the wine we drink at Communion at mass. Because
he offers himself for us, we can say that the stone of the jars becomes
the flesh of the Body of Christ; the water becomes the Blood of Christ.
Also, because Jesus is present, the six containers become seven, a number
which would have an important meaning for the Jewish people. |

Jesus
brings a new life and a new meaning for us. We are not stony-hearted
any more; we care for each other. |

Jesus
makes everything new, just as he turned the water into wine. We think
about new ways of living together with love.
Also, we realise that God gives us rain, which makes everything grow,
including grapes, which people turn into wine in a more ordinary way.
God, in fact, changes water into everything we have. |
