On the Threshold

Sola Fides, Sola Scriptura?

Today's gospel was about the well known wedding at cana, where water was turned into wine. Listening to the gospel, I realised that the reason Catholics petition the Virgin Mary and the Saints to intercede for us can be seen in this gospel reading. At the wedding it was Mary, who sensing that the groom was in need of more wine, asked Jesus to help. Even though Jesus said that his time had not come, he duly preformed his first miracle, changing water into wine. Such is the grace of intercession. There is clearly a difference between petitions for intercession and worship. Worship is reserved only for the One who works the miracle. To me, this seems like a pretty literal reading, without much interpretation required. Sola scriptura? In this case, Indeed.
