THE WEDDING AT MEDJUGORJE
I always find the account from John’s Gospel of the Cana Wedding (2:1-12)interesting in the way it relates in a sense to the events at Medjugorje, where new wine flows into the hearts of those who accept the invitation to the wedding – to arrive, experience and give witness to a new relationship – and respond to the call of the mother of Jesus when she says: “Do whatever he tells you.”
At Medjugorje, through the intercession of the mother of Jesus, hearts become vessels filled with prayer, purified with the waters of repentance, and when filled allow miracles to take place and new wine – the best of wine – to flow and be enjoyed. To many, the glory seen and witnessed at Medjugorje is a wonderful confirmation of God’s love for his people; it is clearly visible and makes pilgrims into new disciples, renewed in faith and belief in Jesus, ready to follow him alongside his mother and the brothers and sisters in Christ.
There is a wedding at Medjugorje in Herzegovina. The mother of Jesus is there; and Jesus and his disciples are also in attendance…
