Looking to Mary During Transitional Times

Creating a Faith-Based Family
Mary’s family had a significant influence on her life. In addition to being the mother of Jesus, she was a pillar of love and support throughout His life. Think about the occasion when Mary subtly encouraged Jesus to work His first miracle at the wedding at Cana (John 2:1-11). She made the plea out of trust, knowing that He would be sympathetic.
