(Vol.33 No 3) - Sunday, 17th January 2010

 

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

 

"Jesus said: 'Fill the jars with water'. And they filled them to the brim." People often think of themselves as very ordinary and the place they live in as fairly insignificant. And yet it was for people like this in a place like that that Jesus worked one of his most famous miracles. One of the keys to this reality was that the servants obeyed Jesus’ command, in fact they overdid it and they 'filled the water jars to the brim'. Jesus' command to us is to love one another as he has loved us. If we follow his command great things will also happen in our lives and in the world we live in. But we also have to use the key and fill our love to the brim. We tend however to measure out our love. This week we are asked to practise our love more intensely in our homes and communities and let Jesus transform us.

 

Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
