“The First of His Signs”
This is a familiar story, rich in symbolism. It is the first “sign” recorded in John’s Gospel. These “signs” in John’s Gospel are miracle stories but John prefers to use the term “sign,” as they point to something far more than just the miracle itself. John used these signs to encourage belief in his readers but they are also an invitation for us to understand something more of how God operates in our lives. Jesus transforms the water which would be used for the Jewish purification rite. He takes something used to give life to people, and transforms it into something which brings joy, celebration and new life to the party. There are many messages we can take from this account: the ability of God to transform our lives, to transform that which is dead and stale. The abundance of wine (approx. 700 litres!) is a
significant reminder of the abundance of God’s love for us, beyond our comprehension. We could also focus on the role of Mary in this Gospel she is the one who notices, she is attentive to the needs of those around her and brings this concern to Jesus. We might pray today that we too may be able to notice, to see, to intervene when we are faced with situations that need attention. This may be a situation of injustice or it may be a situation where something in our own lives or in our church has become dead and stale and is in desperate need of new wine.

“Signposts on the Road to Emmaus ” Exploring the Mass
A four night programme entitled ‘Signposts on the Road to Emmaus’ Exploring the Mass will begin on March 14th in the Park Hotel, Dungarvan. The programme will continue on 21st and 28th March and 4th April. It is a programme of exploration on the celebration of the Mass. Each session follows a similar pattern which accumulatively gives participants a renewed understanding of the Mass they celebrate in their own parish.
The programme was devised by Julie Kavanagh and has been very successful. It is designed for anyone who would like to find out more about the Mass parishioners, member of parish pastoral councils, liturgy teams, etc. Sessions are as follows:
1. We gather in the footsteps of Christ (Gathering)
2. Christ speaks to us in the Scriptures today (Word)
3. Christ is our Host (Eucharist)
4. We are sent to become what we have received (Dismissal)
These are booked sessions. Please watch out for more information on this programme which will follow in the coming weeks.
Proclaim his marvellous deeds to all the nations
