Fr. Mark Mary: 我在默想迦拿的婚礼时,注意到委罗内塞的画作中,耶稣在喧嚣的人群中显得格外平静,这与人们常常忽略耶稣的情况相似,就像在卢浮宫里,人们专注于《蒙娜丽莎》而忽略了巨大的《迦拿的婚礼》一样。这幅画中,耶稣和新娘是唯二直视观众的人物,仿佛在引导我们看向耶稣。 此外,圣帕特里克大教堂外的阿特拉斯雕像与弥撒中被举起的基督形成了鲜明对比。阿特拉斯象征着人类依靠自身力量的重负,而基督则毫不费力地承担着世界的重量。这象征着人类在没有上帝的情况下独自挣扎,背负着沉重的负担,感到孤立无援。迦拿的婚礼也传达了类似的真理:人类自身是匮乏的,无法自救,我们需要耶稣来满足我们的需求,将水变成酒。耶稣希望帮助我们,将我们从重担下解脱出来。 然而,我们常常像以扫一样,为了短暂的利益而放弃了我们与生俱来的权利,错过了耶稣的帮助。我们专注于自己的计划和答案,将所有压力都放在自己身上,甚至背离上帝,不相信他能有所作为。因此,我们应该转向耶稣,相信他,将我们的忧虑和信任交给他,让他成为我们生命的主,卸下我们肩上的重担,体验没有重压的生活。

Fr. Mark-Mary draws unique comparisons when meditating on Paolo Veronese’s The Wedding at Cana. The depiction of Christ’s quiet centrality amid worldly distraction mirrors how people often overlook Jesus, just as museumgoers miss this massive artwork while focused on the Mona Lisa. As well as the parallel between the statue of Atlas outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the image of Christ at Mass, contrasting the burden of self-reliance with the peace found in surrendering to God. Through this reflection, we are invited to entrust our struggles to Jesus, who alone can transform and uplift us. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Wedding Feast at Cana and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.

All of the Sacred Art we’ll be meditating with can be found in the Rosary in a Year Prayer Guide, for free linked in the complete prayer plan, or in the Ascension App. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy).
