"Do whatever he tells you". These were the words Mary spoke to the servants at the Wedding at Cana. It was this total submission to the will of the Father God that Mary and Jesus were able to fulfil their mission on earth.

This first miracle in the Gospel is referred to as one of Jesus' glory that leads His disciples to believe in Him. It is also in Jn. 15:7 and 1 Jn. 3:22 that Jesus promises us that God hears our prayers. We need to have this confidence and grow in our total trust in God.

In the first reading, 1 Jn. 2:1-2 presented Jesus as an advocate for the sinful Christians before God. This is an important message for the believing community who are expected to do the same for its members especially those who are considered as those who have "fallen away" from the community.

Are we concerned about the welfare of our fellow Christians who are in need of our prayerful support. Do we have the same attitude as Mary in her sensitivity to the needs of the people around her? Are we ready to walk the "extra mile" for the members of our community who need our encouragement and support.
