Keep Mary close to you
What could that possibly mean. Well here’s the story.
It was my cousins wedding this week. During the homily, the priest was giving advice on how a couple need to live their lives. And so he said ” we come across a lot of problems and shortcomings, but we should never give up. When the young couple at cana would have faced embarrassment, our Lady realized their fears and what was bothering them. She then asked Jesus to do what needs to be done to help this couple out of the situation.”
Jesus at first stepped back but on his mothers request did exactly what she said. Was it God’s plan to tell his people that he has blessed Mary to such an extent that His son would do what she wants him to do? That son, who is God himself?
No one at cana, approached Mary on what was happening nor did the couple or their household share what was going on. Then what was the power in her that she could see what was coming and rightly request her son to do what we call the first miracle. Did Jesus really not know that it was time or was it God’s plan to make it known to Jesus through his mother?
As God the father our creator knows everything thats going to happen to us and since he has empowered Mary to see and understand what he knows about her children (us). Its true, that God will bring forth miracles in our life’s everytime Mary sees our troubles and requests Jesus to take care of them for us.
All we need to do is acknowledge Mary in our day today lives.
