Second Sunday in Ordinary Time January 20, 2019

First Reading: Isaiah 62:1-5 Psalm 96:1-2, 2-3, 7-8, 9-10; Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; Gospel: John 2:1-11

“Do whatever he tells you.”

It is touching, yet not surprising, that Mary is so very concerned about protecting the dignity of the couple married in Cana. She tells Jesus, “They have no wine.” Jesus responds with compassion and respect for the couple. Like his mother, not wanting them to suffer from ridicule, Jesus transforms jars of water into an abundance of wine! Culturally, wine was expected and a sign of hospitality, joy and, most of all, God’s blessing. This first miracle of Jesus is a powerful sign of God’s divine love received and shared with the couple and their community. We remember today the gift and dignity of all people. Isaiah tells us that “as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride so shall your God rejoice in you.” God takes delight in those who respect the dignity of others and share with them the joy of God’s divine love. The Spirit and the spiritual gifts that we have received, as Paul tells us, are to be shared for the common good. We do what Jesus tells us. And, then, miracles happen!

Prayer for Healing Victims of Abuse

God of endless love, ever caring, ever strong, always present, always just: You gave your only Son to save us by the blood of his cross.

Gentle Jesus, shepherd of peace, join to your own suffering the pain of all who have been hurt in body, mind, and spirit by those who betrayed the trust place in them.

Hear our cries as we agonize over the harm done to our brothers and sisters. Breathe wisdom into our prayers, soothe restless hearts with hope, steady shaken spirits with faith: Show us the way to justice and wholeness, enlightened by truth and enfolded in your mercy.

Holy Spirit, comforter of hearts, heal your people’s wounds and transform our brokenness. Grant us courage and wisdom, humility and grace, so that we may act with justice and find peace in you. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

2 Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Isaías 62:1-5; Sal. 96; 1 Cor. 12:4-11; Juan 2:1-11

Jesús, participando en la celebración de bodas en Cana de Galilea, celebra públicamente el amor del Espiritu presente por medio de la fe y amor de la pareja, su familia y comunidad. María, la Madre de Jesús, también está presente y nos dice, por medio de sus únicas palabras en el Evangelio de Juan, “Hagan lo que el les diga.” Por medio de responder a las palabras de María, tenemos la oportunidad de vivir con la fuerza de las obras de Dios—y sus milagros—cambiando nuestras vidas. ¡Igual como El Señor transformó el agua a vino—y una abundancia de vino rico—por medio de nuestra fe y confianza en sus palabras, podemos recibir grandes señales de su presencia y amor acompañándonos! Es muy apropiado que celebramos mañana el Día Festivo del Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., Fiel Servidor de Dios.

Bishop Wilkerson, Diocese of Monterey

The Diocese of Monterey released a list of priests who have been credibly accused of abusing child-ren. Bishop Wilkerson said in his letter released along with the list, “This has been a painful process for all involved. Sexual misconduct with a minor is a heinous sin and crime and something that should never happen—especially by a trusted person such as a priest, deacon or religious. I deeply apologize to every victim of sexual misconduct by anyone associated with the Diocese of Monterey and I extend the offer of counseling to you. To access these services, please contact our Victims’ Assistance Coordinator, Rio Castillo, at 800-321-5220 or rcastillo@dioceseofmonterey.org.”

We, your clergy are profoundly sorry for the abuse that has occurred in the past, and we pledge to do everything in our power to prevent a single case of abuse from ever happening again.

The Diocesan Safe Environment Office offers classes for volunteers, parents, parish staff, and children. Contact the Safe Environment Coordinator, Deacon Warren Hoy, at whoy@dioceseofmontery.org for information.
