During Mass this week, we hear readings about what it means to be a prophet, God’s greatest gift of love, and the reaction to the message Jesus delivered to people at the synagogue.
In this week’s Gospel, the apostle Luke says that he will write down the events of Jesus’ life. He then proceeds to tell the story of Jesus’ visit to the synagogue where he read aloud the words of the prophet Isaiah.
The Wedding at Cana is the story we hear in this week’s Gospel. In it, Jesus performs one of his first miracles by turning jugs of water into wine.
Recently, we’ve been surrounded by so many unsettling experiences. It’s hard not to be weighed down with anxiety and fear. Those are the times when we need to turn to God for comfort.
