Jesus performed His first public miracle at the wedding feast in Cana. According to Venerable Fulton Sheen, this was no accident. The Archbishop observes, “...There’s a beautiful mystery hidden somewhere in the marriage feast of Cana. . . . . a human marriage is like the union of Our Lord and the Church. When, therefore, the bride and groom stand at the altar and we read to them the marriage ceremony, we are informing them: ‘You, the bridegroom, stand for Christ. And you, the bride, stand for the Church.’ That is the mysterious grace that is conferred upon you. How beautiful marriage becomes!”
