I know it has been quite some time since I included my prayer reflections. Life has been busy but I aim to renew the practice. This is my prayer reflection on John 2:1-11, the lectionary text for today.
Six stone jars stood empty.
The had held the water
for the washing of hands.
Now they sat hollow in the entry way.
Mother Mary had come and
begged You,
Defend the honor of the hosts.
May no one know the limits of their hospitality,
that they invited guests but did not have enough.
Six stone jars stood empty.
They had held the water
for the washing of hands.
You had them filled to the brim.
And when they poured them out.
Wine flowed–better than any wine
the guest had, had before. the chief steward
was full of wonder (though he did not know the source).
Six stone jars stood empty
They had held the water,
which had turned to wine.
Long after the guests had their fill
and Ordinary Time resumed they held
the memory of the wine on their tongue.
Later they would remember You were there.
The day that everything changed.
