    I'm in Montreal at the moment and it felt like a mild tremor.

    There was a 6.1 in that region about 80 years ago.

    But you are drunk in the spirit of Jesus my child, one does not need the physical water. alleluia and on the day of the feast his mother came to him and said they have run out of wine and Jesus said bring them this water ... drunk I tell you, drunk as if on the wine but on the spirit of the Lord.
