Paolo Veronese, The Wedding at Cana

The Wedding at Cana

Detail: Paolo Veronese, The Wedding at Cana (1563)

Luminous Mystery 2 of 5.

Scripture

His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’

John 2:1–12

Meditation

At a wedding in a small Galilean town, the wine runs out. Mary notices — before anyone else — and turns to her Son. ‘They have no wine.’ She then says to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ They are her last words recorded in the Gospels, and they are the heart of every Marian devotion.

Fruit of the mystery

To Jesus through Mary
