Daily Prayer & Reading for January 7, 2023
Heavenly Father, the celebration of the birth of Your Son gives new hope to the nations. During this holy time and in the year to come, keep the Christmas spirit alive in our hearts. Help us to be ever joyful and aware of Your love. Amen.
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.

Padre Celestial, la celebración del nacimiento de Tu Hijo da una nueva esperanza a las naciones. Durante este tiempo santo y en el año venidero, mantén vivo el espíritu navideño en nuestros corazones. Ayúdanos a estar siempre alegres y conscientes de Tu amor. Amén.
Jn 2, 1-11
En aquel tiempo, hubo una boda en Caná de Galilea, a la cual asistió la madre de Jesús. Éste y sus discípulos también fueron invitados. Como llegara a faltar el vino, María le dijo a Jesús: “Ya no tienen vino”. Jesús le contestó: “Mujer, ¿qué podemos hacer tú y yo? Todavía no llega mi hora”. Pero ella dijo a los que servían: “Hagan lo que él les diga”.
Había allí seis tinajas de piedra, de unos cien litros cada una, que servían para las purificaciones de los judíos. Jesús dijo a los que servían: “Llenen de agua esas tinajas”. Y las llenaron hasta el borde. Entonces les dijo: “Saquen ahora un poco y llévenselo al mayordomo”.
Así lo hicieron, y en cuanto el mayordomo probó el agua convertida en vino, sin saber su procedencia, porque sólo los sirvientes la sabían, llamó al novio y le dijo: “Todo el mundo sirve primero el vino mejor, y cuando los invitados ya han bebido bastante, se sirve el corriente. Tú, en cambio, has guardado el vino mejor hasta ahora”.
Esto que hizo Jesús en Caná de Galilea fue el primero de sus signos. Así manifestó su gloria y sus discípulos creyeron en él.
