Meditation:

Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. 13 Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. ~Colossians 3: 12‐14

John 2:1-12 – New Revised Standard Version

¹ On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

² Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

³ When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”

⁴ And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what concern is that to me and to you? My hour has not yet come.”

⁵ His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

⁶ Now standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

⁷ Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.

⁸ He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the person in charge of the banquet.” So they took it.

⁹ When the person in charge tasted the water that had become wine and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), that person called the bridegroom

¹⁰ and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now.”

¹¹ Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee and revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

¹² After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they remained there a few days.

Jesus visits a wedding at Cana, changes the water into wine & performs his first sign.  Jesus brought the abundance of God, the transforming power of God to bring joy & love to our lives. All of us have had to restart life & love. All us had do that. All had loving relationship that ended when we didn’t want them to.  With God, our life is never over. God is an expert in new beginnings & second chances bringing abundant life to us.
