         There must have been a thriving fishing industry on the shores of Lake Gennesaret. The partnership of Andrew, Peter, James and John had been successful enough to buy two large fishing vessels and employ a number of men to help them. The work was hard and involved night shifts to have the catch ready for the early morning market. Fish was a staple diet and preferred fresh. With no ice or fridges the demand for new fish every day would be high. On this particular morning the fishing partners had caught nothing. I wonder how they felt? Perhaps Peter in particular was very tired and beat and afraid of what tis failure might mean. Perhaps the best thing to do was to clean up the nets and listen to the new teacher called Jesus.

Gospel

John 2:1-11

‘This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee.’

At that time: There was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ And Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.

Fr Richard Rohr writes that with  scripture signs like the Wedding at Cana, we have to move away from, 'How did this happen?', towards, 'What can we discover spiritually from this episode?' 
‘ I think it is worth the effort to let some things go , we don't need to know everything. Some answers are just not available, this is the fun of mystery. Sometimes we need to "allow God to be mystery".
