Father Mark Mayer: 迦拿婚礼不仅仅是一场普通的婚礼，它象征着耶稣开始了他作为神圣新郎的公开传道生涯，以及他和母亲玛利亚之间关系的转变。纽曼的论述为我们提供了独特的视角，将这场婚礼解读为耶稣告别过去生活，开启新使命的标志性事件。耶稣行神迹，供应美酒，不仅满足了婚礼的需要，更预示着他将带来新的生命和恩典。 耶稣与母亲玛利亚的互动也值得关注。玛利亚的请求和耶稣的回应暗示了母子关系的转变，耶稣即将开始独立的传道生涯，承担起作为神圣新郎的责任。这与世俗婚礼中新郎新娘与父母关系的转变有着异曲同工之妙。 我们可以将迦拿婚礼视为两场婚礼的结合：一场是世俗的婚礼，另一场是耶稣与教会（他的神秘身体）的永恒结合。耶稣作为神圣新郎，承担起养育、保护、关爱和最终为他的新娘（教会）牺牲的责任，这体现了他对教会的爱和救赎。 因此，迦拿婚礼不仅是一场婚礼，更是一个神学象征，它预示着耶稣的救赎使命，以及他与教会之间永恒的结合。耶稣在公开传道期间所做的一切，都是为了爱他的新娘（教会），这在迦拿婚礼上得到了预示和体现。
