Wedding At Cana
Welcome to St. Francis Xavier Catholic Community of Faith
In today’s Gospel from John, we see the
beginning of the public ministry of Jesus.
In John’s Gospel, there is always more
going on than just the literal text. Jesus
begins His public ministry at a Wedding in
Cana. There is a problem at this wedding,
they have run out of wine. Mary desires to
spare the groom’s family the embarrassment of running short of wine and brings this problem to Jesus. The response of Jesus: “Woman, how does your concern
affect me? My hour has not yet come.” An ‘hour’ is a time for
Him to manifest His glory and power.
Jesus seems to change His mind and does what His mother
asks, He changes water into wine. What are the religious/
spiritual meanings contained in this event? “Jesus did this as
the beginning of his signs at Cana in Galilee and so revealed
his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.” The miracle at Cana becomes the occasion for Jesus to manifest his
glory and power. He manifests this sign (and others) so that
disciples will believe in Him. Disciples see His power and
glory and believe in Him. His signs are invitations to believe
in Him. Another meaning: the occasion for the first sign of
Jesus is one of need, the groom has no more wine for the celebration. Jesus responds to our needs. And Jesus responds in an
abundant way, the wedding now has an abundance of wine and
it is good. There is a lot going on behind the story of Water
changed into Wine.
In today’s 2nd reading, we can also use the idea of abundance
with which the Lord gifts His Church. Paul tells us of different
forms of service, different gifts, different workings all coming
from the same God. “To each individual the manifestation of
the Spirit is given for some benefit.” The Lord gifts His
Church individually and collectively in an abundant way. We
do not all have the same gifts but we have received something
for the building up of the Church. Our task to use the gift we
have for the greater good.
My best to you, Fr. Sheridan

First was to the magi then,
the baptism of Jesus and,
today we’re celebrating the sign at the
wedding at Cana!
Actually, every Sunday Eucharist is a most sublime
epiphany of God. Through our being transformed by
the ritual actions, we ourselves are reminded over and
over again to be the Presence of Christ in our world.
God loves us so much as to continually send the Son
to be our savior. God trusts us so much as to send us
to be the manifestation of God’s Presence!
Worldwide Marriage Encounter
Chicagoland Area
The Magi offered gifts to the Christ Child. Spouses,
learn more about giving the gift of yourselves to each
other by attending one of the upcoming Worldwide
Marriage Encounter Weekends.

are:
February 12-14, 2016 or
April 8-10, 2016 or

WORD: Holy Listening
Each week we gather to relax and listen to
a short passage from scripture, reflect on
God’s word, respond in prayer, and rest in
God’s presence. The scripture passages are
taken from the Sunday Gospel to support
our journey. This ancient but simple process allows God’s word to touch us in our
daily lives and transform our hearts.
When: Saturdays 9:00 – 9:45 a.m.
On-going .
Where: The “Upper Room” Second
floor at the SFX Parish Office
Small groups offer a valuable way to enrich our faith and provide us with companionship for our journey. There is no need
to commit to every Saturday, come when
your schedule permits.
Everyone is always welcome.
SFX Women’s Book Club
Book: "A Man Called Ove," by Fredrik Backman
When: January 19, 2016 at 9:30 A.M.
Where: Mallinckrodt Community Center
Reviewer: Blanca Dabrowski
Hostesses: Barbara Stinneford and Barbara Dhein
In this bestselling and delightfully quirky debut novel from Sweden's Fredrik Backman, a grumpy yet
loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in
next door.
Meet Ove. He's a curmudgeon - the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were
burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short
fuse. People call him "the bitter neighbor from hell." But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn't
walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time?
Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness.
