Jesús comienza sus milagros cuando empieza a predicar, no lo hace como signo de poder o de sometimiento a los demás sino como un servicio de la presencia de Dios. El primer milagro del Señor sucede, y no por casualidad, en una boda.

La Biblia varias veces y de distintas maneras, se pregunta qué amor humano es el más parecido al amor que Dios nos tiene. Si todo amor por sí mismo es señal de la presencia de Dios, el matrimonio es la referencia más clara de este amor divino que está en las personas.

¿Por qué el matrimonio se utiliza una y otra vez como una relación referida a Dios con su pueblo y a su pueblo con Dios? Veamos algunas de las características de lo que debe ser un auténtico matrimonio:

Entregarse en plenitud desde la intimidad y la exterioridad al otro

Donarse al otro.

Fortalecer la fidelidad como en ningún otro tipo de relación humana. Podemos citar muchos otros elementos de la auténtica vida matrimonial, pero todo queda resumido si

decimos que amarse no significa mirarse el uno al otro, sino mirar juntos en la misma dirección. Ese es el amor que Dios nos tiene; así es el amor de Dios en nosotros. Vivir con Dios es mirar hacia la dirección que Él mira.

La escena de la Palabra de hoy es como un breve manual de milagros donde se nos indica el papel que

Dios hace y el del ser humano que recibe y se deja hacer.

María es la primera que se da cuenta de la falta de vino y es la primera que intercede ante Jesús. En el camino del cristiano la Virgen está siempre atenta a nuestras carencias y necesidades, fijándose en nuestras cosas para presentarlas ante el Señor. Sólo ella sabía cuál era el problema y quién lo podía resolver.

La respuesta de Jesús es un tanto desconcertante; es como si el Señor dijese "qué tengo que ver con esto. Esto no es de mi incumbencia..." y le da la razón de su respuesta: "Mi hora aún no ha llegado". María le invita a que haga algo, pero Jesús esperó al final para hacerlo, cuando ya se había acabado el vino. En la vida nos pasa otro tanto. Muchas veces sólo al final de nuestro recorrido y dificultades es cuando vemos la mano de Dios.

Un aspecto importante es la respuesta que da María: "Hagan lo que Él les diga". Quienes esperan un favor o un milagro de Cristo han de estar dispuestos a cumplir sus órdenes. Muchos milagros no se realizan en la vida de las personas porque viven más que sordos a las indicaciones de Dios. El hacer lo que Él dice es mostrarnos el

Scripture and the Tradition of the Catholic Church provide an abundance of wisdom, though it can often be challenging to apply it to our lives. In this study, Jeff Cavins and Thomas Smith examine biblical wisdom as it relates to daily life. Drawing on the wisdom literature of the Bi-ble—Proverbs, Wisdom, Sirach, and Ecclesiastes—Wisdom will teach you how to actively seek out sound guidance and increase your sense of peace in navigating life. In everything from friendships to finances, from making decisions to attaining peace of mind, Scripture of-fers a vision for happiness and wellbeing. With this program, you will learn how to gather, gain, and grow in wisdom, and you will experience the joy it brings to your life.

STUDY BEGINS: Tuesday, January 22, 10:00am in Faith Formation Room

Cost of Workbook $20.

Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP) Retreat Weekend Women’s Weekend – February 23rd—24th

What is CRHP? Christ Renews His Parish is a formal process for enriching the spiritual lives of parishioners through Sacred Scripture and parish involvement. It was started in the Catholic Church in 1969 and is practiced throughout the United States and several other countries.

What is the purpose of the weekend? The purpose is threefold: 1) to get to know your fellow parishioners 2) to read and reflect on scripture 3) to experience the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist in a special setting

How long does the weekend last? The retreat begins Saturday morning at 8:00am and concludes Sunday afternoon at 5:00pm.

For more information call: Julie Johnsonbaugh 517-204-0423 or julie.johnsonbaugh@gmail.com Lisa Welko (417) 830-3034 or lwelko@yahoo.com

WHAT CRHP IS NOT: · It's not a silent retreat · It's not a public confession · · It’s not a parish ministry · It’s not an emotional cult · It’s not a pre-selected group or clique ·

Additional Information, Testimonials and Registration Form at OLLBranson.com

The Catholic Man Retreat is a two-day fellowship retreat. It is a wonderful, faith-filled weekend with ten regular guys sharing how Jesus has impacted their daily lives in the areas of personal commitment, spirituality, Christian community, scripture, and discipleship. Prayer, personal reflection, and Mass are included.

The retreat begins around 8:30am on Saturday, February 16, at the Parish Center. It ends around 3:00pm on Sunday. Overnight stay is optional but because Saturday’s session can go a little late, and start up again early Sunday morning, some men prefer to stay the night. If you want a hotel room, we have a special room rate at the Baymont Inn next door 417-297-0142.

The retreat is limited to 32 men and RSVP is required in order to plan for the meals and supplies. All meals and materials are provided. Free Will donations will be accepted to help offset the retreat costs.

Why not get charged up for the Lenten season by attending this retreat. Brochures are available at the Help Desk. RSVP, Questions? Contact Deacon Dan – (812) 204-2625, dan.vaughn@hotmail.com.
