Jesus, being fully man, shall follow the commandments. Therefore, He submits to His father and mother. This was shown in the Wedding of Cana, when Jesus listened to Mary.

However, Mary, being fully man, shall obey God in the first place. Jesus is also fully God, so Mary also ought to obey Him completely.

So at what time does Jesus obey Mary, and at what time does Mary obey Jesus? For instance, when Mary intercedes for us in heaven, does obedience apply (implying that it would be a mother-son relationship, in which Jesus would listen to Mary out of virtue of obedience) or not (implying that it would be a God-man relationship, in which Jesus would take it as a plead from the greatest saint)?
 
Mary’s Will is completely submissive to God’s Will. Therefore, if God Wills it, Mary does as well.
