"Cana Thoughts"

Fr. James Turro

All your life

you have been wanting something.

At first, it was toys.

Then, it may have been good grades.

Later, a job that was fulfilling and paid well.

But, more than anything,

you wanted a person with whom

to share your life in a deep and loving way.

And now that person

is sitting next to you -

someone eager to step into your life

and be dear and close to you;

someone who will put a strong arm

around you and hug you

in difficult times;

someone to laugh with you

in lighter moments;

someone to cry for joy

in moments of great happiness.

That someone

is God's very special gift

to you this day.

Thank God for that gift;

love and treasure that gift
