There’s a thread about the Miracle at Cana in the Apologetics section in this forum. It’s all Catholic in that particular thread so I thought I’d post it here as I’m interested to hear your take on the situation.

I would like the non-Catholic Christians to answer this and I would ask for no arguments, but, I know that the first post will be from a Catholic and it will be fairly snarky, so, ignoring that, Wedding at Cana, Mary’s role, Jesus’ answer and actions.

Also, preferably, this will not digenerate into the heretical belief that Our Lady was a sinner (for the Protestants, I know the Orthodox do not hold to this), but, since that will inevitably come up for this thread and the disagreements, include it only if it really is pertinent to your point. Thank you.

I have this picture in my mind that when He responds to her comment that they are out of wine with, “Women, why involve me in this…”, she probably has that stern mother’s look that says, “You’ll do it”. 😛 So, she simply tells the servants to “do whatever He tells you”.

It is such a mother / grown-child human event that many of us have probably experienced with our own mothers. At least in my interpretation, it is a wonderful, moving example of Christ’s human-ness, and His love and respect for His mother.

Whether or not one thinks the Blessed Virgin was sinless throughout her life is irrelevent, as I sin no possible sinful act on her part in the story.

There is much more made out of this than what it really is. Christ’s nature to do this miracle didn’t hinge upon nagging or the asking of Mary as opposed to others who might ask. Scripture tells us to ask and we shall receive. It doesn’t depend upon who might help you do the asking, it all has to do with Christ.
