What does Jesus mean when he says (John 10):

Can a man be born twice from his mother’s womb?

How can you understand me about heavenly things if you do not know about earthly things?

Unless you are born or spirit and water, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. (John 10)

—Jesus performs the miracle at Cana and opens his disciples hearts to faith, through the intervention of Mary— (Rosary)

From a Catholic perspective, surely this refers to baptism by a priest through Jesus, but also something spiritual. Could this mean a second birth when we decide to take up our crosses for Christ?

Baptism is spiritual. And baptism is what is referred to as our second birth.
 
In Baptism we die to sin and rise again as new creations in Christ. Baptism is by water and spirit. It is the rising again in Christ through baptism that is being born again.
