“Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons.”
John 2:6
Father Secora’s homily pointed out something I had never noticed before: these stone water jars were for ceremonial washings.
The jars were not “fine china” by any means, and the water wasn’t “Perrier,” as Father mentioned. They were available for people to wash their hands, common vessels filled with common water for washing, not for drinking.
But at the word of God, the contents of the common stone vessels were transformed to instead hold the best of wines.
Just so, at the word of God, we common vessels – sometimes with hearts of stone – can be transformed into something extraordinary, something holy.
Mary instructed the servants to “Do whatever he tells you.”
His servants of every age should heed that advice. Do whatever He tells you; be transformed, allow Him to make us holy!
