16. The First
Reading

17. A reading from the prophet
Isaiah.
About Zion I will not be silent,
about Jerusalem I will not

18. grow weary, until her integrity
shines out like the dawn and
her salvation flames like a
torch.
The nations then will see

19. your integrity, all the kings
your glory, and you will be
called by a new name, one
which the mouth of the Lord
will confer. You are to be a

20. crown of splendour in the
hand of the Lord, a princely
diadem in the hand of your
God; no longer are you to be
named ‘Forsaken’, nor your

21. land ‘Abandoned’, but you
shall be called ‘My Delight’
and your land ‘The Wedded’;
for the Lord takes delight in
you and your land will have

22. its wedding.
Like a young man marrying a
virgin, so will the one who
built you wed you, and as the
bridegroom rejoices in his

23. bride, so will your God
rejoice in you.

24. The Word
of the Lord
Thanks be to God.

25. Proclaim the wonders
of the Lord among all
the peoples.

the peoples.

peoples, give the Lord glory and
power; give the Lord the glory of
his name.
The Psalm

31. Proclaim the wonders
of the Lord among all
the peoples.
The Psalm

32. Worship the Lord in his temple. O
earth, tremble before him.

king.’ He will judge the peoples
in fairness.
The Psalm

33. Proclaim the wonders
of the Lord among all
the peoples.
The Psalm

34. The Second
Reading

35. A reading from the letter of
St Paul to the Corinthians.
There is a variety of gifts but
always the same Spirit; there

36. are all sorts of service to be
done, but always to the same
Lord; working in all sorts of
different ways in different
people, it is the same God

37. who is working in all of them.
The particular way in which
the Spirit is given to each
person is for a good
purpose. One may have the

38. gift of preaching with
wisdom given him by the
Spirit; another may have the
gift of preaching instruction
given him by the same Spirit;

39. and another the gift of faith
given by the same Spirit;
another again the gift of
healing, through this one
Spirit; one, the power of

40. miracles; another, prophecy;
another the gift of
recognising spirits; another
the gift of tongues and
another the ability to

41. interpret them. All these are
the work of one and the
same Spirit, who distributes
different gifts to different
people just as he chooses.

42. The Word
of the Lord
Thanks be to God.

43. Alleluia, alleluia!
Speak, Lord, your servant is
listening: you have the
message of eternal life.
Alleluia!
Gospel Acclamation

44. The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
A Reading from the holy Gospel
according to John.
Glory to you, O Lord.
The Gospel

45. There was a wedding at Cana
in Galilee. The mother of
Jesus was there, and Jesus
and his disciples had also
been invited. When they ran

46. out of wine, since the wine
provided for the wedding
was all finished, the mother
of Jesus said to him, ‘They
have no wine.’ Jesus said

47. ‘Woman, why turn to me?
My hour has not come yet.’
His mother said to the
servants, ‘Do whatever he
tells you.’ There were six

48. stone water jars standing
there, meant for the
ablutions that are customary
among the Jews: each could
hold twenty or thirty gallons.

49. Jesus said to the servants,
‘Fill the jars with water’, and
they filled them to the brim.
‘Draw some out now’ he told
them ‘and take it to the

50. steward.’ They did this; the
steward tasted the water, and
it had turned into wine.
Having no idea where it came
from – only the servants who

51. had drawn the water knew –
the steward called the
bridegroom and said;
‘People generally serve the
best wine first, and keep the

52. cheaper sort till the guests
have had plenty to drink; but
you have kept the best wine
till now.’
This was the first of the

53. signs given by Jesus: it was
given at Cana in Galilee. He
let his glory be seen, and his
disciples believed in him.

54. The Gospel of the Lord
Praise to you, Lord
Jesus Christ.

56. I believe in God, the Father
almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only
Son, our Lord,
The Apostles’

57. who was conceived by the
Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
The Apostles’

58. was crucified, died and was
buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again
from the dead;
The Apostles’

59. he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right
hand of God the Father
almighty;
The Apostles’

60. from there he will come to
judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
The Apostles’

61. the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen
The Apostles’
