The Jars at Cana

There was a wedding in Cana. The family and their guests were happy. Jesus, his mother, and his disciples were there too.

But during the celebration, the grape drink ran out. The people preparing the feast were worried.

Mary noticed and told Jesus. She trusted him. Then she told the servants to do what Jesus asked.

Nearby stood six large stone jars. They held water used for the people's washing customs.

Jesus asked them to fill the jars with water.

The servants carried water until the jars were full. They did not yet know what would happen, but they followed his instruction.

Then Jesus asked them to draw some out and take it to the person in charge of the feast.

The water had become a fine grape drink.

The man tasted it and was surprised. He did not know where it came from, but the servants knew.

The celebration could continue. Jesus had helped the family without trying to make a grand show.

This was the beginning of Jesus' signs. His disciples saw something of his glory and trusted him.

Jesus cared about people in important moments and in everyday worries too.

We can learn to notice what someone needs. Perhaps we can help set the table, keep someone company, or offer a kind word.

We cannot do the miracle of Cana, but we can help with what we have. Love shows in small tasks too.

Jesus cares and helps, and we can share his kindness.
