She does not simply look on, much less spend time in finding fault, but rather, she turns to Jesus and presents him with the concrete problem: “They have no wine” (Jn2:3). And when Jesus tells her that it is not yet the time for him to reveal himself (cf. v. 4), she says to the servants: “Do whatever he tells you” (v.5). Jesus then performs the miracle, turning water into wine, a wine that immediately appears to be the best of the whole celebration. What teaching can we draw from this mystery of the wedding feast of Cana for the World Day of the Sick?
Lei, prosegue Francesco, “non rimane a guardare, e tanto meno si attarda ad esprimere giudizi, ma si rivolge a Gesù e gli presenta il problema così come è: ‘Non hanno vino’”. Allora Gesù compie il miracolo e la Vergine, al suo fianco “provvidente e orante”, “partecipa alla gioia della gente comune e contribuisce ad accrescerla”.
