Why we respect Mary and saints; Are they important for our spiritual life?. When God is omni potent, omni scent and omni presence, do we need the support of Mary+saints? Why Jesus showed, for our needs, when Mary+saints intercede with Him, HE will give much more(incentive), than coming HIM direct!. Why Mary+saints are important to Christianity?

WHAT GOD SHOW US?
1. Though Jesus was there only Holy Mary saw that wine has been depleted
Idea - God is trying to show a process, when your in trouble what is the method that you should follow
2. The new wine that was produced by Jesus was better than the wine served prior to the incident
Idea - Mother Mary/ Saint when they request on behalf of you, you get not the old wine but new wine
Implies that you get more than what is required
Idea - Mother Mary/ Saint when they request on behalf of you, you get not the old wine but new wine
Implies that you get more than what is required
3.Though Jesus can produce wine with nothing, he wanted servants to fill water to the jars meant for washing feet
Idea - This implies when your in trouble, you should not loose faith, you have to maintain the faith
How to maintain - there are 7 ethics
First is the 10 commandments
Second is the 7 sacraments
Third is to avoid 7 Vices
Fourth is to practice corporal mercies
Fifth is to practice spiritual mercies
Sixth is learning to pardon
Seventh is learning to love
Without practising the about Seven, you cannot love anyone
Secondary points
1. Jesus told Mary that it was not his time yet
2. Mary told the servants to do whatever Jesus asks them to
3. This first miracle convinced of the new teaching of Jesus
