Good morning, everyone. A very cordial welcome to Moments of Melody, five minutes of pearls and parables to help you begin your day. It was F.D. Gordon who wrote, A father and mother living together with their children, tender in their love, pure in their lives, strong in their convictions, simple and orderly in their habits, do infinitely more than presidents and governors, legislators and clergymen can do in making a strong nation. In just a few moments we're going to read some verses about the Lord Jesus at a marriage. Yes, marriage was considered so important by him that he performed his first miracle at a wedding. Day by day, and with each passing moment, strength I find to meet my trial king. Something in my father's wise speech somewhere, I'm no cause for worry. is kind beyond the measure. Give them to each day what he can wear. with peace and rest. Here are a few verses from the sacred scriptures to help you begin your day. A reading from the translation of Monsignor Ronald Knox. The Gospel according to St. John chapter two. Two days afterwards there was a wedding feast in Cana in Galilee and Jesus' mother was there. Jesus himself and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. Here the supply of wine failed, whereupon Jesus' mother said to him, They have no wine left. Jesus answered her, Nay, woman, why hast thou troubled me about that? My time has not yet come. His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he tells you. There were six water pots standing there, as the Jewish custom of ceremonial washing demanded. They were of stone, held about two or three firkins of feet. And when Jesus said, Fill the water pots with water, they filled them up to the brim. Then he said to them, Now draw and give a draft to the master of the feast. So they gave it to him. And the master of the feast tasted this water, which had now been turned into wine. And he did not know whence it came. Only the servants who had drawn the water knew that. The master of the feast then called the bridegroom and said to him, It is ever the good wine that men set first, and the worst kind only when all have drunk deep. Thou hast kept the good wine until now. So in Cana of Galilee Jesus began his miracles, and they had known the glory that was his, so that his disciples learned to believe him. After this he went on to Capernaum with his mother and his brethren and his disciples, not staying there many days. You've been listening to Moments of Melody, five minutes to help you begin your day.
