The first miracle of Jesus during the wedding at Cana was not to promote alcoholism but to manifest the glory of Jesus while helping the wedding host. Wine mixed with water was a necessity of the time to avoid sickness from the consumption of contaminated water. Mary, as a housewife, could understand the disgrace of the wedding host and she intervened rising to the occasion and not waiting for any appeal for help from the host. When Jesus helped the wedding host at the influence of his mother giving exception to his timing of salvific activity, Jesus also won the confidence of his disciples and the appreciation of the wedding guests who might have become the first communicators of his glory to the public.
