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..
