Scripture Quote to Ponder & Put into Action: “To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good” 1 Corinthians 12:7
Reflection on Today’s Gospel John 2: 1-12 Discussion Questions
- How do you image Jesus felt about his mother’s suggestion that he do something about the wine?
- How often do you feel pressure from family or friends to do something you didn’t want to do? Is it usually something good or not so good?
- John calls this miracle a sign. What is it a sign of? Back then? Today? In your life?
- Right now, what is the most exciting thing in your spiritual life? What in your life feels stale? What would you like prayer support for?
