        REVELATION OF
        GOD’S PRESENCE
        Today’s first reading from Isaiah arises out of the ordeal of the
        people of Jerusalem and Judea as they anticipate the end of
        seventy years of exile in Babylon. Their sufferings and their
        oppression will end, and they are promised joy like that of a great
        wedding upon returning to their homeland. Although this passage
        is probably set in the early sixth century B.C., it is free of historical
        particulars. Accordingly, the Church has understood its imagery
        universally, as it proclaims God’s promise of healing, hope, and
        happiness for all peoples, in this world and in the next. When read
        against this background, the story of Jesus’ turning water into
        wine at the wedding at Cana becomes a revelation of God’s
        presence in the person of Jesus, making these promises real for
        us in the here and now, in the transformation of our own lives.

                ON BOW-TIES, AND BEING THE HEADWAITER
                             Copyright 2022 by John B. Reynolds (john@jrwrites.com)

        My wife and I attended a friend’s wedding a few years back. I wore my best suit for the occasion. I
also sported a bow-tie, as I’m often prone to do at such events. I learned how to tie the thing a couple of years
prior--when bow ties seemed to be really in--by watching an online video my daughter had tipped me off to. I
don’t know if bow ties are still considered cool, but that’s how I still see them.

       Back to the wedding... I wore my red bow-tie that night. I saw right away at the reception that I was
one of only a few guys wearing a bow-tie, period. And for sure, there were no other red ones. A few strangers
even gave me compliments for it. I was having such a good time, I didn’t notice that all of the servers were
dressed (sans suitcoat) exactly like me: black shoes, dark pants, white shirt, bow-tie.

        Each member of the waitstaff, though, was wearing a black bow-tie. I didn’t give this a second thought
until the second question came my way after I’d left the dinner table to find the restrooms. The first ask was
from a woman also looking for the restrooms. Then another woman asked me where she could get a glass of
water. I pointed her to the bar area, then I recalled the red bow-tie I was wearing in a sea of black ones. With a
smile, that’s when it hit me: “She thinks I’m the headwaiter.”

       This story comes to mind now as I consider today’s Gospel, John’s singular account of the Cana
wedding feast. I’ve written of it before. I’ve written of Jesus’s seemingly harsh response to his mother when
Mary tells him, “They have no wine.” I’ve written of Mary’s five-word direction to the servers that has
applied to all of us ever since: “Do whatever he tells you.” I’ve written of the abundance Jesus provides (up to
180 gallons of wine). But I’ve never written of the headwaiter.

        He doesn’t really know much, you know? Jesus tells the servers, “Fill the jars with water.” Jesus tells
the servers, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” All the HW does is taste the water-made-
wine, and--recognizing its goodness but knowing nothing of its origin--then says to the bridegroom:
“Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept
the good wine until now.”

        Hmmm… The goodness of God is all around me, and while I might recognize the goodness, I’m often
clueless re: its origin. But thinking about it, I see I’m in good company with others who have been similarly
clueless while being in the very presence of the Christ. Like the Samaritan woman at the well when Jesus tells
her about living water (“Sir, you do not even have a bucket and the cistern is deep; where then can you get this
living water?”). Or like the disciples when Jesus tells them he has food they do not know of (“Could someone
have brought him something to eat?”). Or like Nicodemus when Jesus tells him about the need of being born
from above (“How can a person once grown old be born again?”). Cana’s headwaiter and me and all the rest:
clueless of God’s goodness but recognizing the goodness just the same. Hey. It’s a start. She thinks I’m the
headwaiter! Good company, like I said. With or without a red bow-tie.

either before or after your child is born.

Following preparation and after your child is born, please contact Mary to schedule a baptism date.

For baptized Catholics, marriage is celebrated within a Catholic church in the presence of a priest or
deacon. The first item to plan is the selection of a date and time. In order to celebrate the sacrament
of marriage at St. Vincent, one needs to be a registered parishioner for four months prior to
discussion of a date. DePaul University faculty, staff, students, and alumni may also celebrate their
wedding here, provided either the bride, groom, or both are Roman Catholic, registered at a parish and
actively engaged in the practice of their faith. Weddings are celebrated on Saturdays only, at 1:00 p.m. or
3:00 p.m. Weddings are not celebrated during the season of Lent, Holy Week or Saturdays that conflict
with other parish events. Mary confirms all reservations for weddings.

Confirmation: Catholic adults who would like to receive the sacrament of Confirmation are invited to
contact Rebecca at rcarmic1@depaul.edu. Confirmation preparation sessions are held Sunday evenings
February through May.

or to enroll in the RCIA program, please contact Rebecca at rcarmic1@depaul.edu.

First Communion: Requires two years of classes. Family catechesis (classes for parents and children)
religious education classes are held monthly. Please contact Rebecca at rcarmic1@depaul.edu.
