Second Reading 1 Corinthians 12:4-11
4Truly, there are diverse graces, but the same Spirit.
5And there are diverse ministries, but the same Lord.
6And there are diverse works, but the same God, who works everything in everyone.
7However, the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one toward what is beneficial.
8Certainly, to one, through the Spirit, is given words of wisdom; but to another, according to the same Spirit, words of knowledge;
9to another, in the same Spirit, faith; to another, in the one Spirit, the gift of healing;
10to another, miraculous works; to another, prophecy; to another, the discernment of spirits; to another, different kinds of languages; to another, the interpretation of words.
11But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one according to his will.

Gospel John 2:1-11
1And on the third day, a wedding was held in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2Now Jesus was also invited to the wedding, with his disciples.
3And when the wine was failing, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
4And Jesus said to her: “What is that to me and to you, woman? My hour has not yet arrived.”
5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6Now in that place, there were six stone water jars, for the purification ritual of the Jews, containing two or three measures each.
7Jesus said to them, “Fill the water jars with water.” And they filled them to the very top.
8And Jesus said to them, “Now draw from it, and carry it to the chief steward of the feast.” And they took it to him.
9Then, when the chief steward had tasted the water made into wine, since he did not know where it was from, for only the servants who had drawn the water knew, the chief steward called the groom,
10and he said to him: “Every man offers the good wine first, and then, when they have become inebriated, he offers what is worse. But you have kept the good wine until now.”
11This was the beginning of the signs that Jesus accomplished in Cana of Galilee, and it manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.
Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
