The changing of water into wine, the beginning of the hour teaches us about sacrifice. Those marriages that seek the Lord as their center are seeking to love as He loved, to love with a sacrificial love. The husband must put his wife before himself. The wife must put he husband before herself. The needs of their children must come before the needs of the parents. This is sacrificial love, expressed countless times in the daily routine of the Catholic family.
To you who are looking to marry someday: prepare yourselves by nurturing the Presence of the Lord in your lives. Seek out that person with whom you can pray. Allow the presence of the Lord to draw you to a person with whom you can journey to Christ. And to all of you who are married: may you celebrate the Presence of Christ in the Cana’s that are your Catholics homes.
