Notes for Servants
Christ'slife on earth was full of good deeds. Reflect upon the many miracles God performed in the Old and New Testament.
Study the life of St. Mary and think about her virtues. Pray to the Lord, asking him to help you in your struggle so that you may be perfect in Jesus Christ.
Jesus performed his first miraculous deed to honour the Virgin Mary, so resort to her and ask for her protection and intercession.

Important Notes:
The servant must explain that when Christ blessed the wine, he did not mean to encourage people to drink wine. At the time, wine was just like juice with regards to it’s taste and effect on the body. The Lord Christ obeyed his mother and he performed the miracle although he felt that the time had not yet come for performing miracles.
The servant must use Christ's attitude on every occasion and must be cooperative in the society in which he lives. We must share with other people in their joys and griefs without fanaticism. The servant should divide the class into groups and these groups should visit ill people as well as those who are in mourning and pray for them.
