love wine. lt's hard to beat a home-cooked meal glass of Chardonnay or Zinfandel. I also enjoy the language of a by accompanied wine, snippets of which l've picked up overthe years. Connoisseurs describe wines with words like "earthy," "buttery," "has notes of pineapple on the finishr" and other elaborate descriptors. I don't always get the language, but these aficionados

l'm not shy about
Today's Gospel doesn't offer descriptors such as "mellow" or "earthy" in reference to the wine at the wedding at Cana-it simply indicates that it's very, very good wine. The party may have been winding down, but with such fine wine brought out I imagine it may have gone well into the night. What a place for Jesus to pertorm his first miracle, his first sign. But Jesus didn't perform signs just to show off extraordinary power. His miracles always revealed the reign of God and its breaking into the world. From this particular miracle, we can believe God's reign is about newness-the wine was fresh and delicious. We can believe God's reign is about abundance-about r8o gallons of wine were transformed! We can believe God's reign is about life-giving celebrationthe wine flowed freely at a joyous wedding feast. New, abundant, life-giving, celebratory-these are the descriptors of God's reign and God's power. Even to this winelover, that sounds far better than a "buttery" Chardonnay or an "earthy" Shiraz.

DearElizabeth,
Sin is an unfortunate reality in our human lives. Flowever, God's infinite mercy and love are also a reality. 'When we seek God's forgiveness, we are truly forgiven for and absolved of our sins. God neither holds our past transgressions against us nor seeks ways to punish us, and your father's death on the anniversary of your abortion truly was a coincidence. Please believe me when I tell you that your confession was more than enough. We must remember, though, that our work does not end there. Once God forgives us, we must trust in his mercy and then begin the sometimes more difficult task of forgiving ourselves. Project Rachel, an excellent ministry that provides pastoral care, reconciliation, and counseling to women and men who have expe-rienced the pain and trauma of abortion, can help you on your healing journey. To contact Project Rachel, call 888-4564673 or visit HopeAfterAbortion.com. Life is God's gift to us, and this Tuesday, Jtnuary 22, is the Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children. kt's all make a point of praying for the unborn children in our world. Fr.

The Wedding Feast at Cana A story, an allegory representing severaltruths about Christ: Our relationship to God likened in the Scriptures of a bride to a
bridegroom Jesus'presence at a wedding indicates how God feels about Marriage and the Sacrament of Matrimony 3) Uncovers the Blessed Mother's relationship to Christ, to John to the whole of believers. How do t find out more about the Scriptures? The Navarre Study Bible is a good place to start. Also Parish Scripture Groups. . z)
