143 1, 21 | thanks to the intercession of Mary and the obedience of the
144 1, 21 | begins "his hour." At Cana Mary appears as believing in
145 1, 22 | of the truth concerning Mary's maternal care. This truth
146 1, 22 | the Council illustrates Mary's maternal role as it relates
147 1, 22 | of Christ. Thus we read: "Mary's maternal function towards
