Pilgrim Priest

Donal Walsh Knew Where to Find the Wine | #1508


Listen Later

Ordinary Time, 2nd Sunday (C) The Holy Spirit gives us many gifts: wisdom, knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, mighty deeds, prophecy, discernment of spirits, varieties of tongues, interpretation of tongues. The Spirit gave Donal Walsh a deep sense of faith. His life was a gift, but he realized it was a gift that was meant to be given away. He died of cancer at the age of 16, but he used his short and difficult life to bless others.

At the wedding feast at Cana, the bride and groom find that their resources fall short of the demands. Fortunately, they had invited Jesus and Mary to the wedding. Like a good Mom, Mary is attuned to the needs of the couple. The servants obey Jesus. Once the six stone water jars are full to the brim, they discover an abundance that they never could have made for themselves.

When we try to build our own little kingdom, we will always run out of happiness. When we aren't afraid to faithfully serve each day, we find the Lord is turning our water into wine.

(19 Jan 2025)
