The Second Luminous Mystery:
The Wedding at Cana
Reading
“There was
a wedding in Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus
was also invited to the wedding. When the wine ran short, the mother
of Jesus said to him: ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said to
her: ‘Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not
yet come.’ His mother said to the servers: ‘Do whatever
he tells you.’ Jesus told them: ‘Fill the jars with water,
draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter,’ So and when
the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, he called the
bridegroom and said to him: ‘You have kept the good wine until
now.’ Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in
Galilee and so revealed his glory." (John 2: 1-11)
Prayer
Dearest Lord Jesus,
grant your grace of purity of heart to all married couples. Help them
to recognize the dignity of the married state and the mission that they
are given to be co-creators with you in the begetting and raising of
children. Grant also conversion of heart to all who use or promote contraception
and so block your divine plan of love for married life. Help them all
accept your gift of life with generosity of heart.
