Lord Jesus, the Gospel of St. John shows your mother Mary learning that the wine had run out at a wedding celebration in Cana. This was not a major crisis, other than the potential embarrassment of the wedding hosts. Yet your mother, in her compassion, turned to you for help. You responded by miraculously turning water into wine, and generously providing more than what was needed for the celebration.

Help me, Lord, to be compassionate like Mary, and be aware of the needs of those I encounter today. Like Mary, may I also turn to you for help and guidance on how to generously respond to those in need according to my abilities.

Amen.
