READINGS
The readings for this weekend's Masses are shown below in English. They are available
in eleven other languages
including French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish by clicking on this
link.
First
Reading Isaiah 62:1-5
About
Zion I will not be silent, about Jerusalem I will not grow weary, until her integrity
shines out like the dawn and her salvation flames like a torch. The nations then
will see your integrity, all the kings your glory, and you will be called by a
new name, one which the mouth of the Lord will confer. You are to be a crown of
splendour in the hand of the Lord, a princely diadem in the hand of your God;
no longer are you to be named Forsaken, nor your land Abandoned, but you shall
be called My Delight and your land The Wedded; for the Lord takes delight in you
and your land will have its wedding. Like a young man marrying a virgin, so will
the one who built you wed you, and as the bridegroom rejoices in his bride, so
will your God rejoice in you.
Second
Reading Corinthians
12:4-11
There
is a variety of gifts but always the same Spirit; there are all sorts of service
to be done, but always to the same Lord; working in all sorts of different ways
in different people, it is the same God who is working in all of them. The particular
way in which the Spirit is given to each person is for a good purpose. One may
have the gift of preaching with wisdom given him by the Spirit; another may have
the gift of preaching instruction given him by the same Spirit; and another the
gift of faith given by the same Spirit; another again the gift of healing, through
this one Spirit; one, the power of miracles; another, prophecy; another the gift
of recognising spirits; another the gift of tongues and another the ability to
interpret them. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, who distributes
different gifts to different people just as he chooses.
Gospel
John 2:1-11
There
was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and
his disciples had also been invited. When they ran out of wine, since the wine
provided for the wedding was all finished, the mother of Jesus said to him, 'They
have no wine.' Jesus said, 'Woman, why turn to me? My hour has not come yet.'
His mother said to the servants, 'Do whatever he tells you.' There were six stone
water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the
Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants. 'Fill
the jars with water,' and they filled them to the brim. 'Draw some out now' he
told them 'and take it to the steward.' They did this; the steward tasted the
water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from - only the
servants who had drawn the water knew - the steward called the bridegroom and
said, 'People generally serve the best wine first, and keep the cheaper sort till
the guests have had plenty to drink; but you have kept the best wine till now.'
This was the first of the signs given by Jesus: it was given at Cana in Galilee.
He let his glory be seen, and his disciples believed in him.
