The Wedding at Cana

Jesus' hour had not yet come, yet he graciously hears his mother's request, and so provides a foretaste of that hour, by making water into wine to meet their need. So does he ultimately provide by offering himself for our sins and rising from  the dead (likewise on the third day). The temporal miracles and occasional respites he gives in this vale of tears are but foretastes of the Feast to come. Chief among these is the Blessed Sacrament, though it requires the most faith, for nothing is seen there; it is only by faith in the words of Christ that we know what it is. Sermon for Epiphany II.
