At Cana in Galilee, Jesus performed the first of his signs, revealing his glory to his disciples, and later to all the nations he revealed the manifestation of the Spirit who distributes different gifts as he chooses.
A VISIBLE GOD We find it difficult to convey ideas to people unless we can actually show them something, demonstrate what we mean. God, who is invisible and truly beyond human understanding, apparently faces the same difficulty. People want to see, not just listen to an idea. So God gave us Jesus Christ, God made visible in the world. During these past weeks we have seen how Jesus was revealed as an infant to the shepherds and the magi, and then began his adult “public life” at his baptism by John. Today’s Gospel reading tells us of his “first sign,” providing wine for the wedding guests at Cana. Of course, even Jesus, God made visible, was not always easily understood in his own day, nor is he even now. So we have to ponder what we see: the poverty and simplicity of his birth, his humility and openness before John the Baptist, his kindness and compassion toward people in their ordinary problems, such as running short of wine at a wedding. Yet it is in coming to know Jesus that we come to know God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — As a bridegroom rejoices in his bride, so God rejoices in the chosen ones (Isaiah 62:1-5). Psalm — Proclaim his marvelous deeds to all the nations (Psalm 96). Second Reading — All the varied gifts in the Christian community are from one Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). Gospel — Rejoicing at a wedding celebration in Cana, Jesus replenishes the wine supply (John 2:1-11).

Do You Know?
Our Lady of Altagracia (High Grace) is a small painting of the Blessed Mother in a Nativity scene painted before 1502. The Spanish brothers Alfonso and Antonio Trejo, early settlers of Hispaniola, now Haiti and Dominican Republic, brought the icon to parish church in Higüey. Many devotees pray to Our Lady of Altagracia for miracles and cures and for intercession for whatever troubles them.

Ordinary Time Christmas Time and Easter Time highlight the central mysteries of the Paschal Mystery, namely, the incarnation, death on the cross, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, and the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The Sundays and weeks of Ordinary Time, on the other hand, take us through the life of Christ. This is the time of conversion. This is living the life of Christ. Ordinary Time is a time for growth and maturation, a time in which the mystery of Christ is called to penetrate ever more deeply into history until all things are finally caught up in Christ. The goal, toward which all of history is directed, is represented by the final Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. Monday, January 21st Memorial of Saint Agnes, Virgin and Martyr. † early 4th C. Martyred at age twelve.
