Page 2 READINGS FOR SUNDAY, JANUARY 20, 2019 SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME First Reading: Isaiah 62:1-5 Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Gospel: John 2:1-11 FOCUS: The Lord has betrothed himself to us in Christ Jesus and we are not abandoned. The wedding at Cana has Jesus at the heart of the celebration. He is present now as we gather to celebrate. Here today he bestows upon us his blessings and his gifts bringing forth faith and reassuring us of his fidelity and abundant grace. LITURGY OF THE WORD: In relaying the words of the Lord to Israel, Isaiah uses the image of a marriage to describe the relationship between God and his Chosen People. Saint Paul reminds us that the Spirit gives many different gifts to be used to build up the community. The Gospel tells the story of Jesus first miracle turning water into wine at the wedding feast at Cana. Readings for next week, January 27, Third Sunday in Ordinary Time: Nehemiah 8:2-4a, 5-6, 8-10; 1 Corinthians 12:12-30; or 12:12-14, 27; Luke 1:1-4; 4:14-21 FOSTERING STEWARDSHIP AS A WAY OF LIFE PARISH SACRIFICIAL GIVING In today s second reading, St. Paul tells the Corinthians (and us) that all of our gifts are from God and they are given, not for us alone, but for the common good. The generosity of God knows no limits - the miracle of Cana reminds us that whenever we faithfully do as God asks, He can change our gifts of water into wine.
