PASTOR’S PEN

When the wine runs out of our lives, the

intervention of Jesus is always welcome. It would

be a mistake to think that miracles, such as the

one we had today, were events that happened

long ago. No. These were recorded in the Gospels

by John as signs for us of what Jesus Christ can

do and still does for those who believe. Yes,

miracles can and do regularly happen.

It is funny, however, that people who don’t really

believe in them are the ones who are leaving nine

copies of prayers on church seats urging others to

make nine other copies ad infinitum, or else!

Those who decide positively to have Christ

present in their marriage, not just for the wedding

day, and not just for the sake of respectability, will

always know where to turn when the inevitable

Cana happens in their relationship. Christ turns the

water of selfishness into the wine of love. He and

only He can do this. A man I know, when he hears

the story of Cana this morning will totally believe

the sign of the six stone wine jars, for he believes

in Jesus’ intervention into his own marriage when,

as he says, “Christ turned beer into furniture for me. I had a drinking problem, so much so that there wasn’t a decent stick of furniture in the house. It is completely through my wife’s prayers and through the power of Christ that I have been set free.”

Miracle? Why not? It is as good a sign as any.

Should Murphy’s Law invade any of our lives, let

us remember the very last words attributed to

Mary in the Gospels. Can you remember what She

said to the servants? All She said was: “Do whatever He tells you.”

There are days in everyone’s life when nothing

goes right. The car won’t start. The baby is sick.

The electricity has just been cut off. The washing

machine won’t empty. There is water coming out

of the fridge. There is a knock at the front door.

The mailman delivers a letter from the school

principal requesting an interview with you about

your son’s behavior in school. Two young

gentlemen in well-pressed dark suits and well-

groomed haircuts, with Bibles under their arms,

wish to know have you yet “found Christ.” And all

that on Monday morning. Murphy’s Law states

that, if anything can go wrong, it will. O’Toole’s

commentary on Murphy’s Law states that Murphy

was an optimist.

An exaggeration, maybe, but the probability of

things going wrong make even the happiest of

homes into an assault course where tensions rise,

and the warts, wounds and welts in our various

personalities show up as if placed under a

microscope.

Older married couples tend to take such events

with a philosophical shrug of the shoulder.

Younger married couples often find the reality of

Murphy’s Law too much to bear. Having at last

discovered that one hasn’t married the ideal

husband or wife, but rather a person who is

deeply wounded by sin and selfishness, as we all

are, having discovered the awful ordinariness of

the person to whom you are now committed for

life, the temptation is always to make hasty

decisions. It is said that when Henry Ford and his

wife were celebrating their 50th wedding

anniversary, she was asked if either herself or

Henry ever once contemplated divorce in all those

years. She was shocked at the question.

“Divorce?”, she said. “No! Not even once. Murder? Yes, many times!”

The heady wine of attraction and romance runs

out of many relationships only to be replaced with

the dull tasteless water of routine. Let me assure

you the same happens in all walks of life, including

the priesthood where the initial enthusiasm and

idealism can often fade into the dullness and

routine of endless meetings going nowhere fast.

A.B.C.D

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

Follow Him and change your life. The message of Jesus is clear.

When He says those words, “change your life,” He is asking you

to make a profound change in your whole life. To do that, first,

we must listen to the Gospel and learn who Jesus is. And only

once we begin to know Him, can we choose to follow Him and to

help Him help others. That’s what it means to be a disciple.

There are many aspects of His life that help us to understand how

we must change to be more like Jesus. He calls us to lift up the

poor, to cherish and love them; to fight injustices; to spread the

Good News; and to share all the goods of God’s creation so that

they are not kept only by a few. And while we cannot change our

life in one day, we can take the steps to follow Him every day to

become better disciples.

I write to you today to suggest one meaningful way for us to

follow Jesus by making a gift of hope through the Archbishop’s

Charity and Development Drive (ABCD). The ABCD, which

supports our community through life-changing programs and

ministries, is a way for us to put our faith into action. Every gift

opens the door to a better tomorrow, a better life, and a more

hopeful future.

Hope has a name: Jesus. To put our faith in Jesus means we must put it into action through

charity. Our archdiocesan programs and ministries effect change, share the love of Christ, and

bring hope to people in need. In the words of Pope Benedict, “A world without God is a world

without hope. A world without God is a world without a future.” Please join me in answering His

call by making a gift of hope today through the ABCD. Individually, we can change our own life,

but together, we can change the world. United, let us be One in Faith, One in Hope and One in

Charity.

Life is God’s gift to us, and what we do with it is our gift to God. Thank you and God bless you!

With gratitude and hope,

Most Reverend Thomas G. Wenski

Archbishop of Miami

MASS SCHEDULES

C H U R C H O F T H E E P I P H A N Y

At a wedding in Cana Jesus changed water into wine. There are many things in our spiritual lives that should be changed. Jesus’ power is available to us too. Let us reflect on our need of this power in order to change the things in our lives that need to be changed. First reading (Isaiah 62:1-5). We hear of a new wedding feast between God and his people.

Second reading (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). Though there are many spiritual gifts, they all come from the same Spirit, and should be used for building up the community.

Gospel (John 2:1-12). Jesus fulfils the prophecy of Isaiah. The changing of water into wine is a symbol of the old order yielding to the new.

“BUT GOD DOES”

During the past week, every Catholic family known to the Archdiocese of Miami received a letter from Archbishop Wenski, in anticipation of the Annual Archbishop’s Charities and Development Drive. The Archbishop once again is asking us to continue the great work of helping him to feed the hungry, clothe the poor, care for the sick and dying. He also asks us to assist the poorest of the parishes and schools, provide shelter and care for the homeless, and to aid in the education of priests for the Archdiocese. As you know, the Archbishop only makes one appeal a year to help the needy and calls upon us as Christians to share whatever we have with the less fortunate brothers and sisters. Through your generosity to the Appeal, the Archbishop is able to serve the caring ministries in the counties of Monroe, Dade and Broward. Epiphany Parish has always been the leader in these appeals, and next Sunday you will once again, through your pledges, be the friend, the neighbor or the stranger who provides love and comfort for the needy. If it weren’t for you, it would be impossible to serve the needy people of God. An elderly ill woman who was being cared for in one of our facilities, asked her special aide, “Mary, thank you for taking such care of me. Who pays for all of this?” The Aide looked at her and responded. “Audrey, the money that supports you and hundreds of others really comes from strangers in the Archdiocese…But I bet God knows them very well.” When you make your pledge next week, you will feel very special because you offered a helping hand to many people like Audrey…so be as generous as possible and remember these poor souls may not know your name… “But God Does.”

PLAN FOR TOMORROW

Tomorrow is a special day... Because it is unspent...

And so it offers all its time... For us to be content...

It has not even made a start...

And therefore, it is free... For us to use in any way...

To keep us company... We may devote its hours to...

A very worthy cause...

Or figure every minute as...

Another chance to pause... In any case we ought to stop...

And think of it today... And try to measure out our work...

With time enough for play...

We ought to make a schedule for...

Our labor and our rest... So, every second will be one...

In which we do our best.

Because of you...

The Archbishop’s Charities Drive changes lives.

2 0 1 9 A . B . C . D .

Archbishop Wenski reminds us that we are the Catholic Community

of South Florida that changes lives. Because of our commitment to

share our generosity and faith with others, Catholic Charities

continue to make a difference in the lives of children, the elderly,

people with disabilities, and the poor through ministries providing

help and hope.

Next Sunday is the Archbishop’s Charities Drive. The Archbishop is

inviting all of you to be One in Faith, One in Hope, and One in Charity

for the most abandoned. Your gift will make a difference in the lives

of children, the elderly, people with disabilities, and the poor.

Most of you have already received a letter from the Archbishop, and

probably have responded directly to him with your pledge or gift.

Those of you who have not, will have the opportunity to make that

pledge next weekend on January 26 and 27.
