1. The Role of Mary in Guiding Us
Mary, the mother of Jesus, plays a pivotal role at the wedding. She notices the need—the wine has run out—and brings it to Jesus. Her example reminds us of the importance of seeking guidance from those who lead us closer to Christ.

2. Jesus' Timing is Perfect
When Mary brings the problem to Jesus, He responds, “My hour has not yet come.” This teaches us patience and trust in God’s timing, even when it doesn’t align with ours.
Reflection: Are you willing to trust God even when things don’t happen as quickly as you’d like? How do you practice patience?
