“They have no wine”, our Holy Mother made a meticulous observation. This incident shows us that Mary is concerned about the needs of our soul, but she also takes care of our materialistic needs. Mary’s visitation to her cousin, Elizabeth, was another good example of her thoughtfulness.

Due to Holy Mary’s plea, Jesus expedited “His hour” – the time when He was supposed to start preaching publicly. How influential is Holy Mary’s intercession!

Jesus performed miracles, not only to satisfy the materialistic needs of human beings. Instead, He wanted us to firmly believe in our Heavenly Father’s love for us, and to pass it on, so that more people will believe in Him. “His disciples believed in Him”. (John 2:11)

“Doing more” is not the right strategy when it comes to helping others. Instead, we should strive to satisfy the needs of others. Overlooking the true needs of people is a common mistake that we commit. We sometimes assume what we need is what other people need. Furthermore, although we used to say “Choose the righteous act and persevere in it”. However, we should also act at the appropriate time: if it were God’s will, it does not hurt to change what has been planned previously.
