Liturgy of the Word

A reading from the holy gospel according to John


All: Glory to you, Lord

1st Reading – The Wedding at Cana (John 2:1-12)

On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in


Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus
also was invited to the wedding with his disciples.
When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to
him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her,
“Woman, what does this have to do with me? My
hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the
servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now there
were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of
purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.”
And they filled them up to the brim. And he said to
them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master
of the feast.” So they took it. When the master of the
feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not
know where it came from (though the servants who
had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast
called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone
serves the good wine first, and when people have
drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept
the good wine until now.” This, the first of his signs,
Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his
glory. And his disciples believed in him. After this
he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and
his brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there
for a few days.

The Word of the Lord.


All: Thanks be to God
2nd Reading – Corinthians, 13:4-13

A reading from the first Letter of Paul to the Corinthians


All: Glory to you, Lord

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it


does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor
others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does
not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It
always protects, always trusts, always hopes,
always perseveres. Love never fails. But where
there are prophecies, they will cease; where there
are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is
knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part
and we prophesy in part, but when completeness
comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a
child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I
reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put
the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see
only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see
face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know
fully, even as I am fully known. And now these
three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest
of these is love.

The Word of the Lord.


All: Thanks be to God

Homily

Rite of Marriage
All stand, including the bride and bridegroom, and the Priest addresses them in these or similar words:

My dear friends, you have come together in this church so that the Lord may
seal and strengthen your love in the presence of the Church's minister and this
community. Christ abundantly blesses this love. He has already consecrated you
in baptism and now he enriches you by a special sacrament so that you may
assume the duties of marriage in mutual and lasting fidelity. And so, in the
presence of the Church, I ask you to state your intentions.
The priest then questions them about their freedom of choice, faithfulness to each other, and the acceptance and upbringing of children:

Andreas and Piedade have you come here freely and without reservation to give
yourselves to each other in marriage?

law of Christ and his Church?

I, Andreas take you, Piedade, to be my wife. I promise to be true to you in good


times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the
days of my life.

Nuptial Blessing

Celebrant:
My dear friends, let us turn to the Lord and pray that he will
bless with his grace Piedade now married in
Christ to Andreas and that he will unite in love the
couple he has joined in this holy bond.

Father, by your power you have made everything out of nothing.


In the beginning you created the universe and made mankind in your own
likeness.
You gave man the constant help of woman
so that man and woman should no longer be two, but one flesh,
and you teach us that what you have united may never be divided.

Father, you have made the union of man and wife so holy a mystery
that it symbolizes the marriage of Christ and his Church.

Father, by your plan man and woman are united,


and married life has been established
as the one blessing that was not forfeited by original sin
or washed away in the flood.

Look with love upon Piedade, your daughter,


now joined to her husband in marriage.
She asks your blessing. Give her the grace of love and peace.
May she always follow the example of the holy women
whose praises are sung in the scriptures.

May her husband put his trust in her and recognize that she is his equal
and the heir with him to the life of grace.
May he always honor her and love her as Christ loves his bride, the Church.

Father, keep them always true to your commandments.


Keep them faithful in marriage and let them be living examples of Christian life.

Give them the strength which comes from the gospel


so that they may be witnesses of Christ to others.
(Bless them with children and help them to be good parents.
May they live to see their children's children.)
And, after a happy old age, grant them fullness of life with the saints
in the kingdom of heaven.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen.

The peace of the Lord be with you always

All: And also with you.

Celebrant: Let us offer each other the sign of peace.

Concluding Rite

Celebrant: The Lord be with you.


All: And also with you.
Celebrant: May almighty God bless you, the Father+, and the Son and the Holy
Spirit.
All: Amen.
Celebrant: Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.
