Summary

In this reflection from Fr. Peter Armenio, priest of Opus Dei, we are invited to hear Mary’s words from the Wedding Feast of Cana, “Do whatever He tells you” (John 2:5), as our instructions to listen and respond to Jesus’s command given during the Last Supper. “So when he had washed their feet [and] put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, “Do you realize what I have done for you?

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

0:08.5

My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me.

1:34.1

And if I lull you into a pious coma, or for it up, and sleep also becomes prayer, according

1:58.1

We took the liberty to see that miracle as an allegory of the new evangelization.

2:07.7

Wine being a symbol of the presence of Christ is a Eucharistic symbol. And the water, if you will,

2:16.8

is a symbol of an absence of Christ.

2:20.2

And we want that water to be literally converted into the life of Christ.
