A REFLECTION ON CANA
LET US THINK ABOUT THE WEDDING FEAST AT CANA
WHEN I WAS A CHILD
EVERY SUMMER
WOODEN SCREEN DOORS
WERE PLACED
ON ALL THE OUTSIDE DOORS
THERE WAS A LONG SPRING ATTACHED
WHICH WHEN YOU LET THE DOOR GO
SLAMMED THE DOOR LOUDLY
THIS WAS USUALLY FOLLOWED
BY YOUR MOTHER YELLING
DON'T SLAM THE DOOR.
GRADUALLY
DUE TO MY MOTHER'S INFLUENCE
I LEARNED
NOT TO SLAM THE DOOR.
IT WAS NOT AN EASY TASK
FOR MY MOTHER OR ME
SHE WOULD COME TO THE DOOR
THEN IN FRONT OF ALL MY PLAYMATES
CALL FRANK ANTONY
GET OVER HERE.
WHEN I GOT OVER THERE
SHE WOULD SAY
FRANK ANTONY
OPEN AND CLOSE THAT DOOR
QUIETLY
I WOULD OPEN THE DOOR
CLOSE IT
QUIETLY
THEN SHE WOULD SAY
NOW FRANK MIBUY
YOU CAN GO AND PLAY
TO THIS DAY
IF I SLAM A DOOR
NO MATTER HOW OLD I AM
MY MOTHER BEING NOT AROUND
I GO OPEN
AND
CLOSE THE DOOR
QUIETLY
ARE YOU PROUD OF ME MOM
ARE YOU PROUD OF FRANK ANTONY
IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN
MARY IS AN IMPORTANT GUEST
AT THE WEDDING
LISTEN TO THE GOSPEL AGAIN.
THERE WAS A WEDDING
THE MOTHER OF JESUS WAS THERE.
JESUS AND HIS DISCIPLES
WERE ALSO INVITED
FOR THIS WEDDING
MARY WAS A MORE IMPORTANT GUEST
THAN JESUS
NOW WEDDINGS
IN THE TIME OF JESUS AND MARY
WERE WEEK LONG EVENTS
FOR THE WINE
OR THE FOOD TO RUN OUT
WAS A DISGRACE
TO THE FAMILIES INVOLVED.
SO MARY
WHEN SHE SEES THE WINE RUN OUT
IS CONCERNED FOR THE BRIDAL COUPLE
SHE IS CONCERNED THAT THEIR MARRIAGE
NOT BEGIN WITH DISGRACE.
SO SHE TURNS TO HER SON
SAYS
THEY HAVE NO WINE.
HE SAYS
IT IS NOT OUR PROBLEM
IT IS NOT MY TIME TO BEGIN
MARY LOOKS AT JESUS
WITH THE TIME IMMEMORIAL LOOK
OF MOTHERS
WHO LOOK AT CHILDREN
WHO SLAM DOORS
SHE SAYS TO THE SERVANTS
DO WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU.
THE LEGEND
IS THAT THE WATER
LOOKED WITH LOVE AT ITS CREATOR
BLUSHED
BLUSHED AND BECAME WINE
.
BLUSHED AND BECAME WINE
FINER THAN THAT
WHICH WAS SERVED
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FEAST
DO WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU
WHAT DOES HE TELL US.
HE ASKS US TO BECOME WINE
TO BE DRINK TO THE WORLD
TO SAY TO THE WORLD
WHAT AN ANCIENT GREEK PRAYER
HAS HIM SAY
I AM YOUR GOD
WHO FOR YOUR SAKE
HAVE BECOME YOUR SON
OUT OF LOVE FOR YOU
AND FOR YOUR DESCENDANTS
I NOW
BY MY OWN AUTHORITY
SAY TO ALL
WHO ARE HELD IN THE BONDAGE OF SIN
TO THROW OFF YOUR CHAINS
I HAVE FREED YOU
TO ALL WHO ARE IN DARKNESS
BE ENLIGHTENED
FOR I AM THE LIGHT
TO ALL WHO ARE SLEEPING
AWAKE
IT IS TIME TO AWAKE
TO ALL IN DANGER OF HELL
COME BACK TO ME
I DID NOT MAKE YOU
TO BE A PRISONER OF HELL
BUT TO SIT AT MY TABLE
DRINK OF MY WINE
HE MADE WINE FROM COMMON WATER
COMMON MAN TO BE LITTLE LESS THAN AN ANGEL
MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
WE ARE ASKED TO INVITE THE WHOLE WORLD
TO THE WEDDING FEAST
TO BE AT PEACE WITH ONE ANOTHER
WHEN WE SLAM DOORS
TO GO BACK AND DO IT RIGHT
ARE YOU PROUD OF ME JESUS
ARE YOU PROUD OF ME
ARE YOU PROUD OF ALL MY FRIENDS
ARE YOU PROUD OF US JESUS
THE ANSWER COMES THUNDERING
FROM THE HEAVENS
YOU ARE MY BELOVED SONS
BELOVED DAUGHTERS
IN YOU I AM WELL PLEASED
MAY IT BE SO
AMEN
AMEN
