Second Mystery: The Wedding at Cana
“Whatever he says to you, do it.”John 2:5
At a wedding feast in Cana, Mary notices that the wine has run out and brings the need to her Son. At her word the servants obey Him, and Jesus works His first sign, changing water into wine.
Fruit of the mystery: To Jesus through Mary
A prayer with Saint Anthony
Lord, Saint Anthony gave everything to belong wholly to you. By the prayers of Saint Anthony, teach me to seek you first and to find my joy in you. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace…
