00:00Meditaxio
00:30The wedding at Cana has a very strong symbolic meaning.
00:35In the Bible, marriage is the image used to signify the realization of the perfect union between God and his people.
00:45Maria is not only the observant woman who notices material deprivation.
00:52It is the new awareness of the situation that opens up before their eyes.
00:57It goes beyond sensitivity and prudence.
01:02Mary gives rise to the beginning of new times.
01:08Jesus' response is a response to the need to break with the past.
01:14Mary awaits Jesus' immediate intervention to remedy that need.
01:22But Jesus makes him understand that the old covenant has expired.
01:28The hour does not refer to the hour of performing miracles, but to the hour of fulfilling his mission, the hour of the cross, the hour of passing from this world to the Father.
01:39This hour will not come until the second part of the Gospel.
01:44Do whatever He tells you.
01:46New characters appear, the servants, and Mary tells them to place themselves completely at Jesus' disposal.
01:55She doesn't know her son's plans, but says that we must accept his program unconditionally and be prepared to follow any of his instructions.
02:06In the context of the alliance in which the scene unfolds, Mary's phrase to the servants takes on its full meaning.
02:16It alludes to the oath that the people pronounced at Sinai, committing themselves to fulfill everything that God commanded them.
02:24We will do everything the Lord says.
02:27The narration is interrupted to highlight the detail.
02:30The presence of the jars intended for purification.
02:34The description is meticulous.
02:36Six, made of stone, with a capacity of about one hundred liters each.
02:42The enormous, immovable earthenware jars seem to preside over the wedding.
02:47Six indicates incompleteness, as opposed to seven which expresses fullness.
02:53Let them be made of stone, remember the tablets of the law and the prophecy of Ezekiel.
02:58I will tear out their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.
03:03The purpose of the jars, purification, dominated the religious life of the Jews.
03:10He addresses the servants who, at the mother's direction, are ready to carry out whatever he says.
03:17The jars were empty, indicating their inability.
03:21Jesus, by having them fill with water, indicates that he is going to offer true purification, which reminds us of our baptism.
03:30And then, he will give us a wine that enters a man and fills him with joy.
03:35Wine, love, which is love, that joy that has come to bring us Jesus.
03:41Fill our hearts with the living water, Jesus Christ, and make us reflect on the mission of proclaiming the Gospel, the living word.
03:52Master Sala's reproach to the groom indicates that new wine is better than old wine.
03:59God's plan follows an upward trajectory.
04:03Jesus Christ is going to inaugurate an era comparable to the ancient one.
04:08The true wedding, with full joy, will begin with Jesus, the true bridegroom.
04:15In the context of the alliance, the observation of the Virgin is also understood.
04:20They don't have wine.
04:22How is it possible to celebrate weddings and revel if what the prophets indicate as a typical element of the messianic banquet is missing?
04:33No, water is necessary for life, but wine expresses the abundance of the banquet and the joy of the celebration.
04:44It's a wedding party, but there's no wine, and the newlyweds are embarrassed by it.
04:51Imagine ending a wedding party by drinking tea; it would be embarrassing.
04:59Wine is necessary for the festival, turning the water in the jars used for Jewish purification into wine.
05:09Jesus performs an eloquent sign, turning the law of Moses into a gospel, a bearer of joy.
05:21As John himself says in another passage, the law was given through Moses, grace and truth have come to us through Jesus Christ.
05:31The words that Mary addresses to the servants crown the nuptial setting of Cana: "Do whatever he tells you."
05:40It's curious, these are his last words that the gospels transmit to us, it's his legacy that he gives to all of us.
05:50Today too, the Virgin tells us all, whatever he tells you, whatever Jesus tells you, do it, it is the inheritance he has left us, it is beautiful.
06:06This is an expression that evokes the formula of faith used by the people of Israel at Sinai.
06:14In response to the promises of the covenant, we will do everything the Lord has said.
06:22And indeed, in Cana the servants obey, Jesus tells them, fill the jars with water, and they filled them to the brim.
06:33"Take it out now," he tells them, "and take it to the steward."
06:38They took him.
06:39In this wedding a new covenant is truly established, and the servants of the Lord, that is, the whole church, are entrusted with the new mission.
06:53Do whatever he tells you.
06:55Serving the Lord means listening to and putting His word into practice.
07:00It is the simple, yet essential, recommendation of the Mother of Jesus, and it is the Christian's program of life.
07:11For each of us, extracting the contents of the jar is equivalent to trusting in the word of God, to experience its effectiveness in life.
07:23Then, along with the host of the banquet, who tasted the water that turned into wine, we too can exclaim,
07:33You have kept the good wine until now.
07:36Yes, the Lord continues to reserve that good wine for our salvation, just as it continues to flow from the pierced side of the Lord.
07:48The conclusion of the story sounds like a sentence.
07:52Thus, at Cana of Galilee, Jesus began his signs, and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
08:03The wedding at Cana is much more than a simple account of Jesus' first miracle.
08:08Like in a chest, He guards the secret of His person and the purpose of His coming.
08:14The awaited husband begins the wedding that takes place in the Paschal Mystery.
08:20At this wedding, Jesus thus binds his disciples together with a new and definitive covenant.
08:28In Cana, Jesus' disciples become his family, and in Cana the faith of the church is born.
08:35We are all invited to that wedding, because there will be no shortage of new wine.
08:41At this moment in meditation, let us remember how important it is to ask myself questions.
