Reading 1 – 1 John 5:14-21
Beloved:
This is the boldness which we have toward him,
that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.
And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask,
we know that we shall have what we have asked for.
If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not unto death,
they shall ask,and God will give them life for those who sin not unto death.
There is mortal sin: I am not saying that they should make a request concerning that.
All unrighteousness is sin. And there is sin which is not mortal.
We know that whoever is begotten of God does not sin,
but he protects the begotten of God and the Evil One does not touch him.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the Evil One.
We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding,
so that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ.
He is the true God and eternal life.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
Responsorial – Psalm 149.1-2, 3-4, 5+6a+9b Resp. 4a

He crowns the humble with salvation.
R. For the Lord takes pleasure in his people. or Alleluia!
Let the saints rejoice in honor.

Gospel – John 3.22-30
After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea.
He stayed there with them, and baptized.
John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there.
They came, and were baptized. For John was not yet thrown into prison.
There arose then a debate on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification.
They came to John, and said to him,
“Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified,
behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming to him.”
John answered, “A human can receive nothing, unless it has been given them from heaven.
You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’
He who has the bride is the bridegroom,
but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him,
rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice.
Therefore, this my joy, is complete.
He must increase, but I must decrease.

Reading 1 – 1 Corinthians 6:1-11
Brothers and Sisters:
How do any of you, having a case against their neighbor,
dare to go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
Do you not know that the saints will judge the world?
If the world is judged by you,
are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
Do you not know that we will judge angels?
How much more, things that pertain to this life?
If then, you have to judge things pertaining to this life,
do you seat judges who are of no account in the Church?
I say this to shame you.
Is there not even someone wise among you
who would be able to decide between their brothers?
Instead brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers!
Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you,
that you have lawsuits one with another.
Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
No, but you yourselves do wrong, and defraud,
and that against your brothers.
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God?
Do not be deceived. Neither the perverse, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy,
nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers,
will inherit the Kingdom of God.
Such were some of you,
but you were washed; you were sanctified; you were justified
in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

Gospel – Luke 6.12-19
Jesus went up the mountain to pray,
and he continued all night in prayer to God.
When it was day, he called his disciples,
and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:
Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother;
James; John; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew;
Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus;
Simon, who was called the Zealot; Judas the son of James;
and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
He came down with them, and stood on a level place,
with a crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people
from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon,
who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;
and those who were troubled by unclean spirits were being healed.
All the crowd sought to touch him,
for power came out of him and healed them all.

Gospel – John 2.1-11
There was a wedding in Cana of Galilee.
Jesus’ mother was there.
Jesus also was invited, with his disciples,
to the wedding.
When the wine ran out,
Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that
have to do with you and me?
My hour has not yet come.”
His mother said to the servants,
“Whatever he says to you, do it.”
Now there were six stone jars for water
set there according to
the Jews’ way of purifying,
containing two or three ten-gallon-buckets apiece.
Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.”
They filled them up to the brim.
He said to them, “Now draw some out,
and take it to the master of ceremonies.
So they took it.
When the master of ceremonies tasted the water
(now become wine),
and did not know where it came from
although the servants who had drawn the water knew,
the master of ceremonies called the bridegroom,
and said to him,
“Everyone serves the good wine first,
and when the guests have drunk freely,
then that which is inferior.
You have kept the good wine until now!”
This first of his signs,
Jesus did in Cana of Galilee,
and revealed his glory,
and his disciples believed in him.
