Wine, John

The Wedding at Cana. Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now. - John 2,10 http://info.catholic.or.kr/bible/list.asp?gubun=new2 http://www.nccbuscc.org/bible/john/2

Family, Book of Proverbs

Better a dry crust with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife. + Book of Proverbs 17, 1 [17:1] A “better than” saying, stating the circumstances when a dry crust is better than a banquet. Peace and fellowship give joy to a meal, not the richness of the food. For a similar thought, see 15:16 and 16:8. http://www.usccb.org/bible/books-of-the-bible/ http://www.usccb.org/bible/proverbs/17

Vocation, Book of Isaiah

Yet just as from the heavens the rain and snow come down And do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, Giving seed to the one who sows and bread to the one who eats, So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; It shall not return to me empty, but shall do what pleases me, achieving the end for which I sent it. + The Book of Isaiah 55,10-11 http://www.usccb.org/bible/isaiah/55

Advice, Mark, New Testament

Seed Grows of Itself. This is how it is with the kingdom of God; it is as if a man were to scatter seed on the land and would sleep and rise night and day and the seed would sprout and grow, he knows not how. Of its own accord the land yields fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. And when the grain is ripe, he wields the sickle at once, for the harvest has come. + Gospel of Mark 4,26-29 http://www.usccb.org/bible/mark/4
