The Wedding Feast at Cana in Galilee is the second luminous mystery in the life of Jesus Christ. In this great mystery we acknowledge the need to rely on the Blessed Virgin Mary for absolutely all our needs. Mary has compassion on the couple whose chief steward for the wedding finds himself with no more wine. The Blessed Virgin pleads with her Son to come to their aid. Christ's response is appropriate. He asks the question how does this affair concern Him? And yet Christ performs His first public miracle simply because His mother asks it of Him.
It works the very same way when we approach our Lord through the Blessed Virgin Mary. Christ can never refuse anything His mother asks of Him. What confidence we should have that our prayers will be answered when we rely on the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
Let us renew our devotion to Mary and our confidence in the power of her intercessory prayer.
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
