Cana and the Call to Marriage | Bible Study

Filmed live at the SEEK 2026 Conference in Columbus, OH, John and Justine Donahue are joined by a group of young adults for a short Bible study. In today’s study, they discuss the Wedding at Cana found in John 2:1-12, emphasizing practical discernment of marriage as a unique vocation and path to holiness. You’ll discover how a rich prayer life is the backbone of vocational discernment, why marriage prep should feel like bootcamp, and the #1 thing that increases love in marriage. Whether you are discerning marriage as your vocation in life or have been married for 20 years, this Bible study gives you rich insights for intentionally pursuing God’s will. 00:00 Introductions and Background 02:52 The Wedding at Cana 04:40 “The mother of Jesus was there” 08:56 Significance of the Wedding Feast 10:09 Discerning Marriage as a Vocation 13:57 Prayer as the Backbone of Discernment 19:34 Cana through the Servants’ Eyes 22:06 The Marriage Preparation Process 28:17 A Word for the Men 30:12 The Gift of Catholicism 32:57 Expectations in Marriage 38:52 The Most Rewarding Thing about Marriage 41:01 What Increases Love? 46:10 Spiritual Fatherhood and Motherhood ✨ Join our Lent Bible Study—Bible Across America ➡️ https://stpaulcenter.com/lent ___ Other ways to grow with the St. Paul Center: ⛪️ If you're a Priest looking to attend one of our annual Priest Conferences: https://stpaulcenter.co/priestconferences 📖 Start a Bible study with the St. Paul Center: https://stpaulcenter.co/biblestudies ✈️ Go on a pilgrimage with us: https://stpaulcenter.co/pilgrimages 🛒 Browse our bookstore: https://stpaulcenter.co/emmausroadpublishing 🔥 Support our mission: https://stpaulcenter.co/donate ___ Follow the St. Paul Center on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stpaulcenter?igsh=anloZXB4dDdjcHI1&utm_source=qr Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/177cb1WMS5/?mibextid=wwXIfr X/Twitter: https://x.com/saintpaulcenter?s=21&t=8_4yim_uMnTcaKXDbGGuVQ #stpaulcenter #biblestudy #johndonahue #justinedonahue #truthcharting #theologyofconversion #marriage #weddingatcana
