Responsorial Psalm
Sing to the Lord a new song,
sing to the Lord, all the earth!
Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
Recall his glory among the nations,
tell all the peoples his wonderful deeds.
Give to the Lord, you families of nations,
give to the Lord glory and strength.
Give to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring gifts and enter his courts.
Worship the Lord with holy celebrations;
stand in awe of him, all the earth.
Say among the nations, "The Lord reigns!"
He will judge the peoples with justice.
2nd. READING (1Cor 12, 4-11)
There is diversity of gifts, but the Spirit is the same. There is diversity of ministries,
but the Lord is the same. There is diversity of works, but the same God works in all.
The Spirit reveals his presence in each one with a gift which is also a service. One is
to speak with wisdom, through the Spirit. Another teaches according to the same
Spirit. To another is given faith, in which the Spirit acts; to another the gift of healing,
and it is the same Spirit. Another works miracles, another is a prophet, another
recognizes what comes from the good or evil spirit; another speaks in tongues, and still
another interprets what has been said in tongues. And all of this is the work of the one
and only Spirit, who gives to each one as he so desires.
Gospel
Three days later there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee and the mother of Jesus was
there. Jesus was also invited to the wedding with his disciples. When all the wine
provided for the celebration had been served and they had run out of wine, the mother
of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine." Jesus replied, "Woman, your thoughts are
not mine! My hour has not yet come." However his mother said to the servants, "Do
whatever he tells you." Nearby were six stone water jars meant for the ritual washing
as practiced by the Jews; each jar could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the
servants, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them to the brim. Then Jesus said,
"Now draw some out and take it to the steward." So they did. The steward tasted the
water that had become wine, without knowing from where it had come; for only the
servants who had drawn the water knew. So, he called the bridegroom to tell him,
"Everyone serves the best wine first and when people have drunk enough, he serves
that which is ordinary. Instead you have kept the best wine until the end." This
miraculous sign was the first, and Jesus performed it at Cana in Galilee. In this way he
let his Glory appear and his disciples believed in him.
