More Than a Miracle

Today's Gospel reflects on the wedding at Cana, where the first miracle was performed. Where a simple statement from Mary about there being no more wine for the guest's brought Jesus to reveal it was not his time yet. But Mary said to the servant's to do what he wants. Mary knew since the day of the Angel Gabriel's announcement, that her son had things to do, hence her comment do as he asks. Even though it was not his time yet, Mary knew it was his beginning. It was his time to reveal his growing purpose to do his Father's Heavenly Will.

Imagine being there at the wedding and being served inferior wine after being served the best. As if our taste buds, after imbibing the best, could not tell the difference. Jesus knew better because in his Kingdom only the best is given no matter to whom it is given. Jesus has no classification of who deserves the best or not. He gives the best to all, he does not offer inferior goods after giving us the best. In this Gospel of John's he just showed us that a simple request was answered, and the best answer was given in return. How Mary's Trust in the capabilities of her Son are shown to us.
