   The  disciples  rejoiced  that  they  had  found Jesus and  believed  in  Him. Do you  daily  thank  God  that  you  are a disciple of  Jesus  Christ  and  a member  of  His  holy  Church?

Can it  be  said  of  you:  “Behold  a real  Christian,  in  whom there is  no  guile?”  Do  you  not  sometimes  dissimulate? Do you always tell  the  truth?

HREE days  after  these  events  there  was  a marriage  in  Cana of Galilee,  and  the  Mother  of  Jesus  was  there. Jesus also, together with  His  disciples,  was  among  the  guests. While they were at  table,  the  wine  failed,  and  Mary  said  to  Jesus:  “They have no  wine.”  He  answered:  “Woman,  what  is  it  to  me  and to thee? My hour  is  not  yet  come.”  But  Mary,  knowing  the goodness of  her  Divine  Son,  and  convinced  that  He  would  not refuse her  request,  spoke  to  the  waiters:  “Whatever  He  shall  say to you,  do  ye.”
