The Invitation to Follow Jesus

Mary’s words to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you,” are not just a practical instruction, but a profound exhortation that speaks directly to the heart of those who desire to receive the Grace of Salvation. They represent a universal invitation to listen, welcome, and obey the Word of Christ, the only One capable of bringing God’s Plan to completion.

In Mary we see the role of those who, knowing Christ, become instruments to lead others to Him. Her words push the servants to place their full trust in Jesus, even without knowing what He is about to do. This is the model of faith declared by Paul: “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

“Do whatever he tells you” is an exhortation that resonates throughout Scripture. In the miracle that follows, Jesus transforms water into wine, a gesture that symbolizes the New Covenant and the fullness of Salvation in Him. However, the miracle occurs only after the servants obey, filling the jars with water. This reminds us that, although Salvation is a Free Gift, it requires an active response: listening, believing, and acting. As stated in James 1:22, it is not enough to be listeners of the Word, but we must also be doers of it.

Mary's words remind us that Jesus, by speaking, creates the faith necessary for the miracle of Salvation. But these words must be received with a humble heart and a willingness to obey.

In short, Mary invites us to place our complete trust in Christ, whose Sacrifice has made Salvation complete. Faith, however, is born from listening and manifests itself in obedience. Only in this way can we participate in Heavenly miracles and, above all, in the Greatest "Miracle": the Redemption of Life, Salvation.
