SURPRISES Life is full of surprises, some pleasant, some not. The scriptures are filled with sto-ries of God’s surprises cropping up when they are least expected: younger children ob-taining the inheritance; the lowliest being seated highest up; an itinerant preacher, killed like a criminal, exalted to eternal, heavenly glory. Anybody who has planned a wedding or similar event knows that they are filled with opportunities for surprises. For the bridegroom in today’s Gospel story, who has no direct contact with Jesus, the pleasant surprise came because somebody else paid attention and had faith in Jesus. We may think that the point of today’s familiar story of the wedding at Cana is that when we have faith in Jesus, our lives will be pleasantly changed. A Christian, however, needs to have a broader perspective and realize that to have faith in Christ means that somebody’s life—not necessarily our own—will be surprised for the better.

Lord Jesus Christ, Redeemer of the world, you have shouldered the burden of our weakness and borne our sufferings in your own passion and death. Hear this prayer for our sick brothers and sister whom you have redeemed. Strengthen their hope of salva-tion and sustain them in body and soul, for you live and reign for ever and ever. Amen.

God, our shelter and our strength, you listen in love to the cry of your people: hear the prayers we offer for our departed brothers and sisters. Cleanse them of their sins and grant them the full-ness of redemption. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Although our tradition carries a long memory of marriage as a sacrament, it may surprise you to learn that for nearly eleven centu-ries, there was no single wedding ceremony approved for use in the Church. While we have evidence of priests blessing marriages as early as the second century, in the early period church leaders relied on civil authorities to manage marriage for everyone in society. In most cases, society yielded its authority to sanction marriage to the male heads of households. From ancient times, marriage had been a family affair, managed by the father of the family, who acted as priest and guardian of fami-ly tradition. Each head wanted to keep the family gods alive, and so he would arrange for brides for his sons, paying a “bride price” as compensation for the loss of a skilled household worker. As creepy as that sounds, it was a step up from the kidnapping practice of earli-er years. Even after the kidnapping raids stopped, the customs re-mained. Every wedding contained the ritualized kidnapping of the bride, the husband abducting his bride from the festivities, carrying her over the threshold to prevent her father’s gods from following her into her new religion. There, he fed her a piece of “sacred cake,” initiating her into a new way of life. It’s fascinating to see how cus-toms endure, long after we have completely rejected the values and attitudes they originally expressed! —Rev. James Field

PrayerofPopeFrancisfortheJubilee Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him. Show us your face and we will be saved. Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money; the adul-teress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief.

Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan woman: "If you knew the gift of God!" You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who mani-fests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God. Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore sight to the blind.

We ask this of you, Lord Jesus, through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy; you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.

CHÚA NHẬT TUẦN 2 TN – C QUA MẸ MA-RI-A ĐẾN VỚI CHÚA GIÊ-SU

“Người bảo gì, các anh cứ làm theo.” (Ga 2,5) Suy niệm: Thấy đôi tân hôn trong tiệc cưới bỗng hết rượu, Mẹ Ma-ri-a nhập cuộc: “Người bảo gì, các anh cứ làm theo.” Mẹ vững tin vào Chúa Giê-su, nhờ đó mà dấu lạ đầu tiên được thực hiện, dẫn đôi tân hôn và các môn đệ đến với Đấng là nguồn mạch đức tin. Sau đó, Mẹ xóa mình đi, biết rằng mình chỉ giữ vai trò chuyển cầu. Mẹ không hoạt động song song với Chúa Giê-su, Mẹ chỉ hoạt động choChúa. Chỉ có một Đấng Trung Gian duy nhất là Đức Ki-tô. Nhưng Mẹ dẫn chúng ta đến với Chúa cách bảo đảm nhất (Per Mariam ad Jesum). Lòng tôn kính Mẹ, vì thế, phải dẫn đưa ta đến với Chúa Ki-tô. Thánh Grignon de Montfort lưu ý rằng ta không tận hiến cho Đức Mẹ, mà tận hiến cho Chúa Giê-su qua Đức Mẹ và nhờ Đức Mẹ.

Mời Bạn: Suy xét lại lòng sùng kính Đức Mẹ và các thánh của ta, phải chăng ta coi các ngài như là Thiên Chúa, khi dừng lại ở một lòng mộ mến quá nặng cảm tính, ủy mị đến độ tôn thờ, mà quên rằng các ngài là những phản ánh Thiên Chúa toàn chân, thiện, mỹ.

Sống Lời Chúa: “Các tín hữu hãy nhớ rằng lòng tôn sùng chân chính không hệ tại tình cảm chóng qua và vô bổ, cũng không hệ tại một sự dễ tin, phù phiếm, nhưng phát sinh từ một đức tin chân thật. Đức tin dẫn chúng ta đến chỗ nhìn nhận địa vị cao cả của Mẹ Thiên Chúa, và thúc đẩy chúng ta lấy tình con thảo yêu mến Mẹ chúng ta và noi gương các nhân đức của Mẹ” (Hiến Chế Tín Lý về Giáo Hội, số 67).

Cầu nguyện: Lạy Mẹ, xin dẫn con đến với Chúa bằng một lòng tin-cậy-mến vững vàng, nồng ấm như Mẹ. Amen.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura -- Como el esposo goza con su esposa, así Dios se regocija con su elegida (Isaías 62:1-5). Salmo -- Cantemos la grandeza del Señor (Salmo 96 [95]). Segunda lectura -- Todos los diferentes dones y talentos que se encuentran en la comunidad cristiana son obra del mismo Es-píritu (1 Corintios 12:4-11). Evangelio -- Compartiendo el gozo de una boda en Caná, Jesús rellena la provisión de vino (Juan 2:1-11). Salmo responsorial: Leccionario I (c) 1976, Comisión Episcopal de Pastoral Litúrgica de la Conferencia del Episcopado Mexi-cano. Usado con permiso. Todos los derechos reservados.

SORPRESAS La vida está llena de sorpresas, algunas agradables, otras no. La Sagrada Escritura está llena de relatos sobre las sorpresas de Dios que surgen donde menos se esperan: los hijos más jóvenes reciben la herencia, a los más humildes se les dan los sitios de honor; un predicador itinerante, condenado a morir como un criminal, es exaltado hacia la gloria celestial eterna. Cualquiera que haya planificado una boda o celebración similar sabe que está llena de oportunidades para que surjan sorpresas. Para el novio (el cual, en el relato bíblico, no tiene contacto di-recto con Jesús) la agradable sorpresa vino porque otra persona había prestado atención y tenía fe en Jesús. A lo mejor pensamos que la lección de la conocida historia de las bodas de Caná es que cuando tenemos fe en Jesús, nuestra vida cambiará positivamente. Sin embargo, un cristiano necesita tener una perspectiva más amplia, y darse cuenta que tener fe en Cristo implica que la vida de alguien -sea la tuya, sea la de otra persona- va a mejorarse sorpresivamente.

LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Lunes: Día de Martin Luther King, Jr.; Semana de Oración por la Unidad Cristiana Martes: La Teofanía en el calendario juliano (la epifanía) Miércoles: San Fabián; san Sebastián Jueves: Santa Inés Viernes: Día de Oración por la Protección Legal de la Criatura en el Vientre Materno Sábado: San Vicente; santa Marianne Cope; Santa María Virgen

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En 1502 el fraile Nicolás de Ovando y doce franciscanos dieron inicio a la evangelización de América en la República Domini-cana. Ellos fueron enviados por los reyes españoles con el man-dato de convertir a los nativos "sin les hacer fuerza alguna". Con los misioneros llegaron Alfonso y Antonio Trejo quienes traían con ellos un cuadro de la Virgen María bajo la advocación de Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia. Ellos la llevaron a Higuey, donde en 1572 se le construyó su primer santuario. Poco a poco esta pequeña imagen se convirtió en la Reina del corazón de los dominicanos. María observa dulcemente a su recién nacido quien yace sobres las pajas. Está coronada y lleva puesto un manto azul rociado de estrellas y un escapulario blanco. Lleva una aureola hecha de doce estrellas. En una esquina de la imagen san José también observa al niño por encima del hombro derecho de María. El 25 de enero del 1979 Juan Pablo II la coronó por ser la pri-mera evangelizadora del continente Americano. Con ella los doce misioneros trajeron la Alta Gracia de Jesucristo a nuestras tierras. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM

LA EXISTENCIA DE DIOS Nadie que entiende la realidad de que Dios existe puede

pensar que Dios no existe. --San Anselmo de Canterbury

A Prayer for the Year of Mercy God of Mercy,

As you have forgiven us So you send us forth

To bear your message of mercy to all.

Give us willing feet and gentle hands. Bless us with listening ears and searching eyes.

Endow us with understanding minds. Ordain us with compassionate hearts.

In our acts and in our words

Make us vessels of your mercy To reach out to the broken

On behalf of the father who wipes away our debts As lovingly as he wipes away our tears

And calls his children home.

Help us lift your people in body and spirit. And so make every year a year of mercy. Amen
