BIBLE READINGS
“You must not tell me what to do,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet
come.”
Jesus' mother then told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
The Jews have rules about ritual washing, and for this purpose six stone
water jars were there, each one large enough to hold between twenty and
thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill these jars with water.” They
filled them to the brim, and then he told them, “Now draw some
water out and take it to the man in charge of the feast.” They took him the
water, which now had turned into wine, and he tasted it. He did not know
where this wine had come from (but, of course, the servants who had
drawn out the water knew); so he called the bridegroom and said to him,
“Everyone else serves the best wine first, and after the guests have drunk
a lot, he serves the ordinary wine. But you have kept the best wine until
now!”
Jesus performed this first miracle in Cana in Galilee; there he revealed his
glory, and his disciples believed in him.

COLLECT FOR THE THIRD SUNDAY BEFORE LENT
Eternal God, whose Son went among the crowds and brought
healing with his touch
help us to show his love, in your Church as we gather together, and by
our lives as they are transformed into the image of Christ our Lord.
Amen
