THE WEDDING OF CANA
2. The Banquet.
Look at Jesus and Mary as they recline at table. All eyes are fixed on them. No affection or posing, just exquisite courtesy and simple good manners, delicacy; correct and amiable in demeanor, and at the same time unaffected and modest. Virtue and courtesy combined.
Then wine runs short, but nobody realizes it, none save Mary who noticed it at once. What a penetrating and subtle sight was Hers! Nothing escapes Her observation. The waiters were trying to cover up the shortage that it might pass unnoticed, but Mary cannot be deceived. Jesus also noticed it, but He neither said nor did anything. He just let Mary act. He wanted the initiative to be Hers.
