21 - Jesus Invited to a Wedding

Introduction:

Ask the children if they have ever been to a wedding, or seen a bride and groom. Show them a nice wedding picture. Today, we will hear a story about a wedding that Jesus and His mother St. Mary attended. Learn that St. Mary can help us by asking Jesus for us. Jesus always listens to St. Mary and we should listen to our mom too.

Lesson Outline:

One day, Jesus and His mother were invited to a wedding. There was a lot of food, desserts, and drinks. All the people were having a good time together and were happy with the bride and groom. Then, St. Mary came to Jesus and told Him that there was a little problem. She told Him that all the grape juice was finished and they had no more juice to drink. She knew Jesus could do something to help with that problem. Then, she went to the servants who were there and told them to do whatever Jesus tells them to do.

Jesus told the servants to fill all the six big water pots with water to the top. They obeyed Jesus and did as He told them. Then, Jesus told them to take some out in cups and give to the people to drink. When they did as He said, they looked at it, and were very surprised. The water they filled was not water anymore! Jesus had turned it into the best grape juice they have ever tasted. They told the bride and the groom why you saved the best juice for last?

Our Lord Jesus can fix any problem we have; nothing is hard for Him. St. Mary helps us by praying for us and asking Jesus for us, too. She cares for God’s children and wants to help us like she helped at the wedding. When we pray to God, we can also ask St. Mary to pray for us (intercede for us). St. Mary wants us to do everything that Jesus tells us and to obey Him, like the servants did at the wedding when they filled the water. We also should obey our parents and listen to them like Jesus did with St. Mary

What Jesus did was a “miracle” , something no one else can do.
