Do whatever He tells you

The evangelist in the telling of this gospel story leaves the details to us. He doesn't tell us if there were more people in attendance than usual or expected. Or if the people were thirstier than usual. Or if the hosts were too poor to obtain a sufficient quantity from the beginning. Or if in disclosing the entire story the reader would get distracted from the main point: Jesus 1st miracle.

Which miracle? The one of Jesus' obedience to His mother? Mary's care for the needs of others? The running out of wine just at this time? The miracle of Mary's awareness of her Son's abilities?

Mary's last recorded words, "do whatever he tells you," are good ones for us today. Do whatever He tells you and watch for the miracles.

Novena to the Holy Spirit

"Wait for the promise of the Father...you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you." Acts 1:5,6

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
