a wonderful poem by St Ephraem the Syrian...
This line: If He was not flesh, who was invited to the marriage in Cana of Galilee? And if He is not God, who turned the water into wine? reminds me of the story of the Jesuit novice who was asked to write a poem about the Wedding Feast of Cana. It is said that his classmates spend several hours drafting and redrafting, filling page after page with elaborate verse. Our hero, however, simply sat and though and just before the assignment was due took out his pen and wrote: Water met its Maker and blushed.
