At Cana, we see how Our Lady intercedes for us all when the joy of our lives becomes scarce. Our Lady constantly intercedes for us and our needs—not just at Cana, but at home as well. She draws us all closer to Him and points us to Him when the well of life runs dry, leaving us without joy. The wedding at Cana also shows Our Lady’s love and compassion for people. It would have been deeply humiliating for the married couple and their families to run out of wine, a symbol of the joy that life brings. She did not demand, but she knew He wouldn’t say ‘no’—not out of fear, but out of love. It also shows her faith, as she knew that nothing was impossible for Him. Her whole life was one of openness to God's activity. For Mary, prayer is not about telling God what to do, but an attitude of loving trust in His goodness, no matter what life throws at us. Let us then fly to her mantle of love, asking her to intercede for us always to her Son when our wine runs out in life.
