The Wedding at Cana card
“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

The Our Father

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
