Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Processional Hymn - Glory and Praise to Our God
Glory and praise to our God,
who alone gives light to our days.
Many are the blessings he bears
to those who trust in his ways.
We the daughters and sons of him,
who built the valleys and plains.
Praise the wonders our God has done
in every heart that sings.
Glory and praise to our God,
who alone gives light to our days.
Many are the blessings he bears
to those who trust in his ways.
In his wisdom, he strengthens us,
like gold that's tested in fire.
Though the power of sin prevails,
our God is there to save.
Glory and praise to our God,
who alone gives light to our days.
Many are the blessings he bears
to those who trust in his ways.
Every moment of every day
our God is waiting to save.
Always ready to seek the lost,
to answer those who pray.
Glory and praise to our God,
who alone gives light to our days.
Many are the blessings he bears
to those who trust in his ways.
God has watered our barren land
and spent his merciful rain.
Now the rivers of life run full
for anyone to drink.
Glory and praise to our God,
who alone gives light to our days.
Many are the blessings he bears
to those who trust in his ways.
1st Reading – Isaiah 62:1-5
For Zion’s sake I will not be silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be quiet, until her vindication shines forth like the dawn and her victory like a burning torch.
Nations shall behold your vindication, and all the kings your glory; you shall be called by a new name pronounced by the mouth of the LORD.
You shall be a glorious crown in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem held by your God.
No more shall people call you “Forsaken,” or your land “Desolate,” but you shall be called “My Delight,” and your land “Espoused.”
For the LORD delights in you and makes your land his spouse.
As a young man marries a virgin, your Builder shall marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride so shall your God rejoice in you.
Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 96
R. Proclaim his marvelous deeds to all the nations.
O sing a new song to the LORD; sing to the LORD, all the Earth.
O sing to the LORD; bless his name.
R. Proclaim his marvelous deeds to all the nations.
Proclaim his salvation, day by day.
Tell among the nations his glory; and his wonders among all the peoples.
R. Proclaim his marvelous deeds to all the nations.
Give to the LORD, you families of peoples, give the LORD glory and power;
Give the LORD the glory of his name!
R. Proclaim his marvelous deeds to all the nations.
Worship the LORD in holy splendor.
O tremble before him, all the earth.
Say among the nations, “The LORD is king.”
He will judge the peoples in fairness.
R. Proclaim his marvelous deeds to all the nations.
2nd Reading – 1 Corinthians 12:4-11
Brothers and sisters:
There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone.
To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.
To one is given through the Spirit the expression of wisdom; to another, the expression of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another, faith by the same Spirit; to another, gifts of healing by the one Spirit; to another, mighty deeds; to another, prophecy; to another, discernment of spirits; to another, varieties of tongues; to another, interpretation of tongues.
But one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing them individually to each person as he wishes.
Gospel – John 2:1-11
There was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.
When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
And Jesus said to her, “Woman, how does your concern affect me?”
“My hour has not yet come.”
His mother said to the servers, “Do whatever he tells you.”
Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons.
Jesus told them, “Fill the jars with water.”
So they filled them to the brim.
Then he told them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.”
So they took it.
And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from — although the servers who had drawn the water knew — the headwaiter called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now.”
Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs at Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.
Prayer for Our Lady of Angels Parish
Heavenly Father, we thank you for gathering us together and calling us to serve as your disciples.
You have charged us through your Son, Jesus, with the great mission of evangelizing and witnessing your love to the world.
Send your Holy Spirit to guide us as we discern your will for the spiritual renewal of our parish.
Give us strength, courage, and clear vision as we use our gifts to serve you.
We entrust our parish family to the care of Mary, our mother, and ask for her intercession and guidance, as we strive to build a parish that loves God, embraces all people, and shares the Gospel joyfully.
Amen.

Communion Hymn - I Am the Bread of Life
I am the bread of life
You who come to Me shall not hunger
And who believe in Me shall not thirst
No one can come to Me
Unless the Father beckons
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day
The bread that I will give
Is My flesh for the life of the world
And if you eat of this bread
You shall live forever
You shall live forever
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day
I am the resurrection
I am the life
If you believe in Me
Even though you die
You shall live forever
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day
Yes Lord I believe
That You are the Christ
The Son of God
Who has come
Into the world
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day
Recessional Hymn - Songs of Praise and Thanksgiving
Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesus, Lord, to you we raise,
Manifested by the star
To the sages from afar;
Branch of royal David’s stem,
In your birth at Bethlehem;
Anthems be to you addressed,
God in flesh made manifest.
Manifest at Jordan’s stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme;
And at Cana, wedding guest,
In your Godhead manifest,
Manifest in pow'r divine,
Changing water into wine;
Anthems be to you addressed,
God in flesh made manifest.
Manifest in making whole
Palsied limbs and fainting soul;
Manifest in valiant fight,
Quelling all the devil’s might;
Manifest in gracious will,
Ever bringing good from ill;
Anthems be to you addressed,
God in flesh made manifest.
