Mary's intercession and advocacy to remedy the situation at Cana, some people are puzzled by Jesus' reply, "Woman, why turn to me? My hour has not yet come." (John 2:4)
The first of the 'signs' worked by Jesus arises from two things: a simple need and a compassionate intervention. A young couple are spared the embarrassment of a wedding without wine by Mary's decision to ask her son to help. What looks at first like reluctance becomes an action of superabundant generosity.
Sometimes we know what we need but cannot quite find the words to ask for it, whether it be pride or awkwardness which hampers us. If we know someone else is in need, do we know how to intervene discreetly? If we are in a position to help, can we do that without drawing attention to ourselves or the need itself?
