Ordinary Time – Year C

First Reading
ISAIAH 62:1-5
1 About Zion I will not
be silent, about Jerusalem I shall not rest until saving justice dawns for her
like a bright light and her salvation like a blazing torch.
2 The nations will then
see your saving justice, and all kings your glory, and you will be called a new
name which Yahweh's mouth will reveal.
3 You will be a crown
of splendour in Yahweh's hand, a princely diadem in the hand of your God.
4 No more will you be
known as 'Forsaken' or your country be known as 'Desolation'; instead, you will
be called 'My Delight is in her' and your country 'The Wedded'; for Yahweh will
take delight in you and your country will have its wedding.
5 Like a young man
marrying a virgin, your rebuilder will wed you, and as the bridegroom rejoices
in his bride, so will your God rejoice in you.

Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 96:1-2, 2-3,
7-8, 9-10
1 Sing a new song to
Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh, all the earth!
2 Sing to Yahweh, bless
his name! Proclaim his salvation day after day,
3 declare his glory
among the nations, his marvels to every people!
7 Give to Yahweh,
families of nations, give to Yahweh glory and power,
8 give to Yahweh the
glory due to his name! Bring an offering and enter his courts,
9 adore Yahweh in the
splendour of his holiness. Tremble before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the
nations, 'Yahweh is king.' The world is set firm, it cannot be moved. He will
judge the nations with justice.
Second Reading
First Corinthians
12:4-11
4 There are many
different gifts, but it is always the same Spirit;
5 there are many
different ways of serving, but it is always the same Lord.
6 There are many
different forms of activity, but in everybody it is the same God who is at work
in them all.
7 The particular
manifestation of the Spirit granted to each one is to be used for the general
good.
8 To one is given from
the Spirit the gift of utterance expressing wisdom; to another the gift of
utterance expressing knowledge, in accordance with the same Spirit;
9 to another, faith,
from the same Spirit; and to another, the gifts of healing, through this one
Spirit;
10 to another, the
working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, the power of
distinguishing spirits; to one, the gift of different tongues and to another,
the interpretation of tongues.
11 But at work in all
these is one and the same Spirit, distributing them at will to each individual.

Gospel Reading
John 2:1-12
1 On the third day
there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there,
2 and Jesus and his
disciples had also been invited.
3 And they ran out of
wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother
of Jesus said to him, 'They have no wine.'
4 Jesus said, 'Woman,
what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.'
5 His mother said to
the servants, 'Do whatever he tells you.'
6 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.
7 Jesus said to the
servants, 'Fill the jars with water,' and they filled them to the brim.
8 Then he said to them,
'Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.'
9 They did this; the
president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where
it came from -- though the servants who had drawn the water knew -- the
president of the feast called the bridegroom
10 and said, 'Everyone
serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but
you have kept the best wine till now.'
11 This was the first of
Jesus' signs: it was at Cana in Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his
disciples believed in him.
12 After this he went
down to Capernaum with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, but they
stayed there only a few days.
