(St.

Augustine Church, Barberton, OH) (January 20, 2013)

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

Todays gospel recounts the story of the wedding feast at Cana. Christ is present in every marriage covenant, to bring hope and to take what is good and make it better. This is a fitting time for families to celebrate the marriages of their members, to honor their commitment and Christs presence in their lives and to talk positively about the vocation of Matrimony. Living Faith in January: John 2:1-11 Proclaim his marvelous deeds to all the nations. (Ps 96) What fruits of the Spirit do you use in your daily life? Who is the Spirit prompting you to call forward to use their gifts? What types of meditations do you use in your life when you think about the fruits of the Spirit? 320 Holy Hours were kept before the Blessed Sacrament this past week. By worshiping the Eucharistic Jesus, we become what God wants us to be! Like a magnet, The Lord draws us to Himself and gently transforms us. Looking for a way to strengthen your spiritual life? Jesus has a plan, simply call Judy Soltis at 330-212-0926. What a wonderful start.
