Save us from the power of the wicked,

Gospel
Jn 2, 1-11
The mother of Jesus was at the wedding feast with him.
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John
There was a wedding in 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 the servers,
“Fill the jars with water.”
So they filled them to the brim.
Then Jesus 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 in Cana in Galilee
and so revealed his glory,
and his disciples began to believe in him.
The Gospel of the Lord.

Schema II
First Reading
Eph 2, 4-10
God is rich in mercy.
A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians
Brothers and sisters:
God, who is rich in mercy,
because of the great love he had for us,
even when we were dead in our transgressions,
brought us to life with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
raised us up with him,
and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus,
that in the ages to come God might show the immeasurable riches of his grace
in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
For by grace you have been saved through faith,
and this is not from you; it is the gift of God;
it is not from works, so no one may boast.
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works
that God has prepared in advance,
that we should live in them.
The word of the Lord.
Responsorial Psalm
Ps 103, 1-2. 3-4. 6 and 8. 13 and 17
R. (See 17a) The Lord’s kindness is everlasting.
Bless the Lord, my soul;
all my being, bless his holy name!
Bless the Lord, my soul;
do not forget all the gifts of God. R.
Who pardons all your sins,
heals all your ills,
delivers your life from the pit,
surrounds you with love and compassion. R.
The Lord does righteous deeds,
brings justice to all the oppressed.
Merciful and gracious is the Lord,
slow to anger, abounding in kindness. R.
As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on the faithful.
But the Lord's kindness is forever
toward the faithful from age to age. R.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Hail, Mother of the Lord, queen of mercy,
you are comfort for the world and hope for the downcast.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel
Lk 1:39-55
The Lord has mercy on those who fear him in every generation.
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke
Mary set out
and traveled to the hill country in haste
to a town of Judah,
where she entered the house of Zechariah
and greeted Elizabeth.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,
the infant leaped in her womb,
and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit,
cried out in a loud voice and said,
“Most blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
And how does this happen to me,
that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears,
the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
Blessed are you who believed
that what was spoken to you by the Lord
would be fulfilled.”
And Mary said:
“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
my spirit rejoices in God, my savior.”
For he has looked upon his handmaid’s lowliness;
behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed.
The Mighty One has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.
The Lord’s mercy is from age to age
to those who fear him.
The Lord has shown might with his arm,
dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart.

but lifted up the lowly.
The hungry he has filled with good things;
the rich he has sent away empty.
The Lord has helped Israel his servant,
remembering his mercy,
according to his promise to our ancestors,
to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”

PRAYER OVER THE GIFTS
Lord, receive the gifts of your people,
and grant that as we look up
to the Blessed Virgin, Mother of mercy,
we may show ourselves merciful to others
and receive your pardon toward us.
Through Christ our Lord.
Suscipe, Domine, munera populi tui,
et præsta,
ut, qui beatam Virginem colimus Matrem misericordiæ,
misericordes in fratres non exhibentes,
indulgentem erga nos te invenire mereamur.

PREFACE
The Blessed Virgin Is Queen of Pity and Mother of Mercy
(Beata Virgo, regina pietatis, mater misericordiæ)
(Beata Virgo, regina pietatis, mater misericordiæ)
The Lord be with you.
R. And with your spirit.
Lift up your hearts.
R. We lift them up to the Lord
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
R. It is right and just.
It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,
always and everywhere to give you thanks,
Lord, holy Father, and, as we celebrate the memory
of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
to proclaim with fitting praise the greatness of your name.
She is the gracious queen
who has herself uniquely known your loving kindness
and stretches out her arms
to embrace all who take refuge in her
and call upon her help in their distress.
She is the Mother of mercy,
always attentive to the voice of her children,
seeking to win your compassion for them,
and asking your forgiveness for their sins.
She is the handmaid of your love,
never ceasing to pray for us to your Son,
that he may enrich our poverty with his grace
and strengthen our weakness with his power.
Through him the Angels of heaven
offer their prayer of adoration
as they rejoice in your presence for ever.
May our voices be one with theirs
in their triumphant hymn of praise:
Vere dignum et iustum est, æquum et salutare,
nos tibi, sancte Pater, semper et ubique gratias agere,
et in hac celebratione beatæ Virginis Mariæ
te debitis magnificare præconiis.
Hæc est regina clemens,
qure misericordiam tuam singulariter experta,
omnes ad eam confugientes recipit,
ac de tribufatione clamantes exaudit.
Hæc est mater misericordiæ,
ad preces filiorum semper inclinata,
ut eis indulgentiam obtineat
et veniam impetret peccatorum.
Hæc est ministra pietatis,
quæ Filium tuum pro nobis indesinenter exorat,
ut sua gratia nostram ditet paupertatem,
sua virtute nostram roboret infirmitatem.
Per quem maiestatem tuam adorat exercitus Angelorum,
ante conspectum tuum in æternitate lætantium.
Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admitti iubeas, deprecamur,
socia exsultatione dicentes:
Holy, Holy, Holy....
