Although the Christmas Season has ended, its themes are very much present in today's liturgy.
God reveals Himself to be present among us through Jesus's working of great signs, the first of which is in today's Gospel reading: In the midst of a troubling predicament of a wedding party running out of wine, Jesus, in a rather subtle, but still miraculous, way, provides more wine.
This sign is not just about Jesus providing more wine for the party, but how God provides abundantly for us in meeting our need, sending to us the One who gives us salvation. It something that all the Earth acclaims, because God delights in us so greatly that He comes to save us and restore us to right relationship with Him. And He continues to open the way of salvation as we use the gifts He grants us to share the effects of salvation with others, living out what He has so graciously bestowed on us.
