Mary was chosen to be the mother of God and agreed to bear Jesus, showing her obedience and trust in God's plan. She was a helpful, encouraging, and respectful figure who stayed with Jesus until his death, demonstrating her resilience. Her most famous role was at the Wedding at Cana, where at Mary's request, Jesus performed his first miracle of turning water into wine when the hosts ran out, showing her influence over her son. The Church honors Mary through prayers, hymns, titles, and feast days in recognition of her role as the Mother of God.

19. The Wedding at Cana
The wedding at Cana is when Joseph Mary and
Jesus were invited to a wedding feast. When the hosts
ran out of wine, Mary was very embarrassed for them
and asked Jesus to help. This was Jesus’ first miracle.
According to John, but in my words, the story goes like
this. Please enjoy.

20. The Wedding at Cana
There was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. Joseph, Mary
and Jesus travelled together with some of Jesus‘
disciples.
They where having the best time ever. There was plenty
of fine food and wine. They had music playing and
everybody was dancing and celebrating the marriage of
the bride and groom.
Later that evening Mary noticed that the host was
looking flustered, so she went over to see what was
going on.

21. The Wedding at Cana
The host told Mary that they had ran out of wine.
Mary ran straight to Jesus and told him all about what
had happened. Mary asked him if he could help but
Jesus replied “my hour has not come yet”. When Jesus
was ready, Mary went to the servants and told them to
do whatever he says. Then Jesus went to the servants
and told them to fill the stone Jars to the rim with
water. Jesus blessed the water and it stated to turn into
wine.
When he finished the blessing the servants took the
wine to the steward. Then he said that it was the best
wine that he had ever tried. The servants delivered the
wine to the guests and the wedding went on.

and I travelled to Cana for the wedding. The
bride looked beautiful.
At the feast I felt so embarrassed for the
hosts. The wine ran out before dinner. No

Jesus my son did a miracle ...
I was so stunned and proud.
He asked the servants to fill water into stone
jars. Can you believe what happened next, it
turned into the best wine the steward had
ever tasted. Everyone at the wedding was so
stunned. Can you imagine how proud I felt.
My heart was bursting out of my gown. I
always knew Jesus was special. The Angel
Gabriel told me this 30 years ago this may

24. How Mary would have
felt
After the miracle, Jesus told me he was just
doing the work His Father sent him to do on
earth.
Jesus tells me this is just the beginning. He
has to spread HIs Father’s word. I will totally
support him and Joseph will too.
I hope you and John are well. See you when
we get back on Monday.
