Mary - Do whatever He tells you

Reflecting on the wedding at Cana: Imagine running out of wine during the wedding festivities, imagine the embarrassment and dishonour that the family of the wedding couple faced. Mother Mary was sensitive to the situation and acted on it. She understood the need of the hour and had faith in Jesus, as she went to her son, stating that there is no wine. Mary’s words to the servant, ‘do whatever he tells you’ was the proof that faith can move mountains. Things are made possible by Jesus for those who believe in him.Let us reflect on this message and see how it can apply in our daily life. Eg Family decisions and tensions, can we pause and ask, ‘What would Jesus tell me to do?’. Similarly in a toxic workplace environment, we can apply this as well.As we prepare our hearts for the annual procession, we strive to ‘make her known, make him known’. Our lady points towards Jesus- ‘do whatever He tells you’.As we do that, we discover peace, and joy and we share the blessing with others. - Saturday Novena Devotion by Br. Celestine Toh, C.Ss.R.
