Let’s review some of the themes that we find in the Mass Readings for the 2nd Sunday of the Year.
1st Reading – Isaiah 62:1-5
The prophet proclaims that Jerusalem will be vindicated and glorified.
The nations will see how God rejoices in the people who were formerly forsaken.
Psalm – 96:1-3,7-10
“Proclaim his marvelous deeds to all the nations.”
We sing to the Lord, announcing his salvation and giving glory to God.
2nd Reading – 1st Corinthians 12:4-11
There are different gifts, service, and types of work, but it is the same Spirit and Lord who produces them.
To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some particular benefit.
Gospel – John 2:1-11
Jesus is at a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and when the wine runs out the Lord performs a miracle and turns water into wine.
This is not a normal wine; it is tested by the headwaiter who declares it is the best.

Here are some of the main themes in the readings for the 2nd Sunday of the Year.
1st Reading – Isaiah 62:1-5
Jerusalem will no longer be forsaken, but vindicated and recognized by all the nations. The Lord will claim Jerusalem for his own and with great rejoicing. Psalm – 96:1-3,7-10
“Proclaim his marvelous deeds to all the nations.” Glory and praise is given to God with singing, rejoicing and worship. 2nd Reading – 1st Corinthians 12:4-11
There are a variety of gifts, service and work…but there is one God whose Spirit directs all. Paul then lists a number of spiritual gifts, recalling how each person has something unique to offer. Gospel John 2:1-11
At a wedding in Cana in Galilee, Jesus performs a miracle by turning water into wine. This wine (done at the request of his mother, Mary) is superior to the wine that was served before. Mass Readings – 2nd Sunday of the Year

Fr. Andrew’s 2nd Sunday of the Year Homily Podcast
At the wedding at Cana the Lord’s miracle of water to wine shows that God gives with quality and generosity. This notion of gift is picked up in Paul’s 1st Letter to the Corinthians. These precious gifts – given by God – are meant to be used. Our invitation today: to acknowledge the good things Christ has given and put them into practice.
A quick shout out to my nieces and nephews who made my vacation so much fun and who shared their Scripture insights with me – that was a gift that I found truly precious!
