I just cannot think why I am so fond of this story from John's Gospel - though I hope Father Christmas will have noted that I prefer red to white!
Yet he that ruleth everything
Can change the nature of the spring,
And gives at Cana this for sign-
The water reddens into wine.
During this season of Advent let us pray that our society will place more value on married life, and that more marriages will be sacraments of Holy Mother Church. We should also pray that we will enjoy the approaching Christmas Festival with sober joy - by that I mean just the odd glass or two. Let us pray for all alcoholics and for those who treat them.
