Concern for Others is the Beginning of Miracles

Jesus bestows a huge honor on his mother Mary in the Gospel today during the wedding at Cana (John 2:1-11).  He calls her the first woman of the New Covenant.  At Calvary, as the first woman of the New Covenant, she becomes Mother of the Church, the spiritual mother of all of us.  In heaven she continues to intercede for us his spiritual children. She is the Queen of Heaven and Earth with whom we can share every joy and sorrow.

Mary’s response to Jesus was to tell the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”  It shows us Mary’s total trust in the Word of God.  Let us ask Mary to help us to do whatever Jesus tells us.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us Sinners, now and at the hour of our Death.  Amen.

Hail, Mary, full of grace!  The Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.  Amen.
