THE COLLECT
Almighty God, whose Son revealed in signs and miracles the wonder of your saving presence: renew your people with your heavenly grace, and in all our weakness sustain us by your mighty power; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
 
REFLECTION
John writes for a post-resurrection audience and here reveals Jesus as the one who inaugurates the new wine/new life of resurrection.  It is not for nothing that for John, Jesus’ first ‘sign’ is at a wedding feast, foreshadowing the ‘marriage supper of the Lamb’ in Revelation.  Both readings resonate strongly with the celebration of the Eucharist – a foretaste of the heavenly banquet.
