"As a bridegroom rejoices in his bride so shall your God rejoice in you." But do we rejoice in our God? Do we honor them during the hard times? Do we love them in sickness and in death? Do we believe in them after the wine is long gone, along with the food and the water, and no miracle is in sight? Or are we just glorified gold diggers, holding onto our praise until we get some "marvelous deeds"? Yes, your Lover is offering you their hand and their kingdom. So what kind of spouse will you be?

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Why was Jesus hesitant at Cana? He foresaw the outcome: "His disciples began to believe in him."

If you're waiting for a little razzle-dazzle before you will listen to the voice of God, you're going to be very disappointed.
