7 The wanting wine threatens to spoil the celebration of new love. But the Mother of God notices the need and speaks to her Son. With one word from his Mother, Jesus reveals his divinity so that, just as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride, all people can realize just how much our God rejoices in us. Just as it did for his first disciples, this reve-lation of glory leads us to a deeper belief in CHRIST . The miracle of good wine continues through the outpouring of the spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit to each individu-al (Magnificat 2022). 4 Second Sunday in Ordinary Time Entrance Antiphon: All the earth shall bow down before you, O God, and shall sing to you, shall sing to your name, O Most High!

8 (Ps 66 (65): 4) Entrance Hymn: All Creatures of Our God and King Worship # 607 Mass Readings: Worship # 1114 Offertory Hymn: The King of Love My Shepherd Is Worship # 712 Communion Antiphon: You have prepared a table before me, and how precious is the chalice that quenches my thirst. (Cf. Ps 23 (22): 5) Communion Hymn: Gift of Finest Wheat Worship # 939 An Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

9 I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen. Prayer to Saint Michel the Archangel Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.

10 Amen. Recessional Hymn Joyful Joyful Worship # 611 from Father Clarke ..Children's Christmas Play: I want to thank all involved in the preparation and execution of our PARISH s Christmas Play. Special thanks, above all, to the children who did remarkably well and presented a very well-executed musical and narrative story of the birth of our Savior. Thanks also to Gina Tomassoni and all those who assisted. It was truly a remarkable performance and I look forward to many more.
