Peter & Paul Cathedral St. Thomas, Virgin Islands Second Sunday in Ordinary Time LITURGY OF THE WORD First Reading: (Isaiah 62:1-5) All shall behold your vindication. Responsorial Psalm: (Psalm 96) “Proclaim His Marvelous Deeds To All The Nations.” Second Reading: (1 Corinthians 12: 4-11) The Spirit distributes gifts to each person. Gospel: (John 2: 1-11) Jesus transforms water into wine. Even though the Christmas season is over, our psalm refrain urges us to continue to proclaim God’s marvelous deeds. Indeed, Isaiah in the first reading is addressing Israel upon their return home from exile, and he cannot keep silent about Israel’s vindication. Likewise, at his mother’s urging, Jesus cannot keep from performing the first of his signs and so revealing his glory. Saint Paul tells us there are many gifts in the Spirit. With which one shall you proclaim God’s marvelous deeds? Ss.

Peter & Paul Cathedral St. Thomas, Virgin Islands Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario. Ciclo C ENTRADA La intercesión e María, la madre del Señor, adelanta la “hora” de Jesús, la realización del milagro. En el cuarto evangelio María es mencionada al principio y al fin: en Caná y al pie de la cruz. Dos momentos glorificación de Jesús: el primero y el último. La maternidad divina de María es la explicación cumplida de su vida y misión; es su razón de ser, su condicionamiento previo y posterior: concepción inmaculada y asunción gloriosa, pasando por su virginidad y su participación en los episodios de la infancia, vida apostólica, pasión, muerte y resurrección de Jesús, así como en la prolongación de éste en la vida de la Iglesia por el Espíritu. Primera lectura: Isaías 62, 1-5 En esta primera lectura escucharemos, del profeta Isaías, un gozoso anuncio de la salvación de Dios. De la misma manera que una pareja de enamorados se aman y están alegres por tenerse el uno al otro, así Dios ama a su pueblo. Salmo Responsorial: Salmo 95, 1-2a. 2b-3. 7-8. 9-10a.c Cuenten a todos los pueblos las maravillas del Señor. Segunda lectura: I Corintios 12, 4-11 Durante algunos domingos, hasta la Cuaresma, estaremos leyendo en la segunda lecturas trozos de la primera carta del apóstol san Pablo a los Corintios, donde Pablo nos presenta aspectos básicos de lo que es ser cristiano y de lo que es la comunidad. Hoy nos hablará de la diversidad de dones y carismas que hemos recibido y que provienen de un solo Espíritu.. Evangelio: Juan 2, 1-12 La escena evangélica de hoy se sitúa en una boda celebrada en Caná de Galilea. Según san Juan, el milagro de las bodas de Caná es el primero de los que realizó Jesús. “Así manifestó su gloria y creció la fe de sus discípulos en Él”. Ésta es la intención primera y última del relato. Continuamos así las “manifestaciones” de Jesús como mesías e hijo de Dios: Epifanía, Bautismo, y hoy Caná. Pistas para la Oración En verdad eres digno de toda bendición, Dios Padre, porque nos diste como madre a María, la Madre de Jesús. Hoy la vemos a su lado en funciones de intercesión maternal, como acostumbra, preocupada siempre del bien de los demás. Ese vino de la boda, que ella consigue, es anticipo festivo el banquete de la eucaristía a la comunidad del reino de Dios. Tú, Señor, que nos diste a María como modelo de creyente, ejemplo perfecto de discípula de Jesús, madre de la Iglesia e imagen esplendorosa de ésta misma en su plenitud final, concédenos caminar con ella, alegres en el seguimiento de Cristo, y respondiendo fielmente a nuestra vocación cristiana. Amén. (Tomado de B. Caballero: La Palabra cada Domingo, San Pablo, España, 1993, p. 506) 6 Anuncios de la Semana Segunda Colecta La segunda Colecta de esta semana tendrá como destino el Fondo para El Ministerio del Diaconado Permanente.

She earned that title by defending her own purity from Alessandro’s attack in 1903. She said to him, “No, it is a sin.” He was so angry with her that he stabbed her repeatedely, causing her death the following day. She was only eleven years old, the youngest of the canonized saints, and a perfect role model for young people in our over-sexualized culture. Our Lady of America, the Immaculate Virgin, appeared to Precious Blood Sister Mary Mildred Ephrem in the 20th Century. She asked Sister Mildred to promote purity in America’s youth. So, now we have a purity-promoting team in Saint Maria and Our Lady of America. Please pray that their common mission will bear abundant fruit. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. M artin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) was a Baptist minister and social activist who played a key role in the American civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. Inspired by advocates of nonviolence such as Mahatma Gandhi, King sought equality for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged and victims of injustice through peaceful protest. He was the driving force behind watershed events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the March on Washington, which helped bring about such landmark legislation as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and is remembered each year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a U.S. federal holiday since 1986.

King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and is remembered each year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a U.S. federal holiday since 1986. CHRISTIAN UNITY PRAYER Heavenly FatherThank You for the family You have given me. Yet Lord! You know of my heartaches caused by the disharmony in my family. I have completely lost my peace and health because of the chaotic situations that prevail at home.Master I have no one, but You Lord, You alone can understand the hearts of men because it is You who have created each one of us. Only You can make two hearts understand each other and bring one mindedness. Forgive me for any part I have played in disrupting unity in my family. Help me forgive other family members as well. Lord! You are the Prince of peace and You have instituted families to bring glory to Your name. Lord let my family not defile Your name by this disunity. Help us to forgive one another and unite all of us with Your cord of love. Lord when You are in our midst nothing can go wrong. So be present in our family Lord, fill each one of us with Your love and understanding so that we can exalt Your name.I know You will restore peace and unity at our home because and only because I ask this in the precious name of Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. PRAYER INTENTIONS FOR JANUARY UNIVERSAL INTENTIONS: That sincere dialogue among men and women of different faiths may produce the fruits of peace and justice. EVANGELIZATION INTENTIONS: That by means of dialogue and fraternal charity, and with the grace of the Holy Spirit, Christians may overcome divisions. 5 Ss. Peter & Paul Cathedral St. Thomas, Virgin Islands Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario. Ciclo C ENTRADA La intercesión e María, la madre del Señor, adelanta la “hora” de Jesús, la realización del milagro. En el cuarto evangelio María es mencionada al principio y al fin: en Caná y al pie de la cruz. Dos momentos glorificación de Jesús: el primero y el último. La maternidad divina de María es la explicación cumplida de su vida y misión; es su razón de ser, su condicionamiento previo y posterior: concepción inmaculada y asunción gloriosa, pasando por su virginidad y su participación en los episodios de la infancia, vida apostólica, pasión, muerte y resurrección de Jesús, así como en la prolongación de éste en la vida de la Iglesia por el Espíritu. Primera lectura: Isaías 62, 1-5 En esta primera lectura escucharemos, del profeta Isaías, un gozoso anuncio de la salvación de Dios. De la misma manera que una pareja de enamorados se aman y están alegres por tenerse el uno al otro, así Dios ama a su pueblo. Salmo Responsorial: Salmo 95, 1-2a. 2b-3. 7-8. 9-10a.c Cuenten a todos los pueblos las maravillas del Señor. Segunda lectura: I Corintios 12, 4-11 Durante algunos domingos, hasta la Cuaresma, estaremos leyendo en la segunda lecturas trozos de la primera carta del apóstol san Pablo a los Corintios, donde Pablo nos presenta aspectos básicos de lo que es ser cristiano y de lo que es la comunidad. Hoy nos hablará de la diversidad de dones y carismas que hemos recibido y que provienen de un solo Espíritu.. Evangelio: Juan 2, 1-12 La escena evangélica de hoy se sitúa en una boda celebrada en Caná de Galilea. Según san Juan, el milagro de las bodas de Caná es el primero de los que realizó Jesús. “Así manifestó su gloria y creció la fe de sus discípulos en Él”. Ésta es la intención primera y última del relato. Continuamos así las “manifestaciones” de Jesús como mesías e hijo de Dios: Epifanía, Bautismo, y hoy Caná. Pistas para la Oración En verdad eres digno de toda bendición, Dios Padre, porque nos diste como madre a María, la Madre de Jesús. Hoy la vemos a su lado en funciones de intercesión maternal, como acostumbra, preocupada siempre del bien de los demás. Ese vino de la boda, que ella consigue, es anticipo festivo el banquete de la eucaristía a la comunidad del reino de Dios. Tú, Señor, que nos diste a María como modelo de creyente, ejemplo perfecto de discípula de Jesús, madre de la Iglesia e imagen esplendorosa de ésta misma en su plenitud final, concédenos caminar con ella, alegres en el seguimiento de Cristo, y respondiendo fielmente a nuestra vocación cristiana. Amén. (Tomado de B. Caballero: La Palabra cada Domingo, San Pablo, España, 1993, p. 506) 6 Anuncios de la Semana Segunda Colecta La segunda Colecta de esta semana tendrá como destino el Fondo para El Ministerio del Diaconado Permanente.

Peter & Paul Cathedral St. Thomas, Virgin Islands Second Sunday in Ordinary Time LITURGY OF THE WORD First Reading: (Isaiah 62:1-5) All shall behold your vindication. Responsorial Psalm: (Psalm 96) “Proclaim His Marvelous Deeds To All The Nations.” Second Reading: (1 Corinthians 12: 4-11) The Spirit distributes gifts to each person. Gospel: (John 2: 1-11) Jesus transforms water into wine. Even though the Christmas season is over, our psalm refrain urges us to continue to proclaim God’s marvelous deeds. Indeed, Isaiah in the first reading is addressing Israel upon their return home from exile, and he cannot keep silent about Israel’s vindication. Likewise, at his mother’s urging, Jesus cannot keep from performing the first of his signs and so revealing his glory. Saint Paul tells us there are many gifts in the Spirit. With which one shall you proclaim God’s marvelous deeds? Ss.
