Summary

Fr. Mark-Mary invites us into a prayerful meditation on Jesus’ miracle at the Weeding in Cana and His proclamation of the Kingdom of God. At the wedding, we reflect on Mary’s attentiveness and Jesus’ willingness to act, stepping into His public ministry with generous love. As we hear the call to conversion, we’re reminded that Jesus Himself is the Kingdom made visible, drawing us closer through His words, His presence, and His saving work. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Wedding Feast at Cana and Proclamation of the Kingdom and Call to Conversion and we will be praying two decades of the Rosary.
