John Chapter 2

·      Third day we think of the resurrection

·      Jesus with his disciples at the wedding in Cana

·      Disciples and followers …..

·      Mother of Jesus not saying woman. When John uses name of the person it is symbolic

·      We nned to be disciples loved by Jesus

·      Jesus comes to a small village, mother comes to say that they have no wine….woman my time has not come…..the hour of glory in John is not the resurrection but the Cross….

·      Cross in John is the love that God has for us and for one another

·      To be divinized means to love life Jesus

·      To spend ones proper life for the sake of the others

·      I can serve the others,….God has given possibility to serve the others, to share our Love with the others

·      I am one that will be for you – God

·      John already speaks about the Cross right in the beginning, he knows what is going to come in his life

·      Mother who loves her son

·      We need to love friars to be called to Cross

·      The passion to be brought to the Cross, need courage to be called to Cross

·      Mother Mary calls Jesus to Cross because she loves Him

·      Joyous to be called to Cross

·      We need one Cross in our life

·      To arrive at the heavenly banquet through the Cross

·      First sign that Jesus performed

·      Sign of Love and not of glory

·      Call the formees to the Cross is the task of the formators

·      We need to be in capacity to say yes to the Cross

·      To receive the gift and to share the cross with the friars…

·      The love given by God gives us the possibility to share with our brothers

·      Why Cross but why so much of the possibility to bring to the Cross
