Do whatever he tells you.

It is from the Gospel of St. Luke and it is the word of our Blessed Virgin Mary commanding the servers in the wedding feast at Cana to do and obey what Jesus will tell them this phrase makes think and ponder in a very deep sense. I am amazed as I read the further verses that these servants just spontaneously obeyed the word of Jesus without much philosophizing and questioning. I happily found out in the following verses that their obedience bore fruit that is water miraculously turn into wine. As I reflect upon it, an insight flush into my mind and found out that Mary my Mother is always present in people’s life even today and now. She knows what one’s community or family or tribes or society needs I too came to the realization that I, a Salesian religious is like a servant of those Cana time. I am one among many. In addition, our Blessed Virgin Mary is certainly asking me through this message to obey what her son Jesus Christ tells me to do. Hence, the question is what am I to do? Shall I listen to the voice of Jesus and act in order to bear fruit? I feel yes! I must do as a religious.
