THE CATHOLIC PARISH OF
Our Lady and Saint Peter WIMBLEDON COMMON

2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C
The Church sees the wedding feast at Cana as the third part of the Epiphany, that is, the manifestation of the divinity of Christ. The first part was the appearance of the magi at Christ’s birth. The second was the revelation of Trinitarian love at Christ’s baptism at the Jordan. § The Church sees in Jesus’ presence at this wedding feast “the confirmation of the goodness of marriage and the proclamation that thenceforth marriage will be an efficacious sign of Christ’s presence” (CCC 1613). § Marriage in itself is a fundamental human good. This truth is subject to being forgotten or underappreciated, the condition of many people today. § Christ raises this good to make it a sacrament, that is, a reality that is both a symbol or image of Christ’s grace and something that brings Christ’s grace into the world. § This confirmation and proclamation are sealed by Christ’s miracle, in which he transformed water into a great deal of “good” wine. Just as Christ brought more good to the wedding feast through his miracle, Christ’s sacrament of matrimony brings much more good to the good of natural marriage. What could be a better sign of this blessing than good wine? § This sign of Christ’s glory was instigated by Our Lady’s charity: her with-it-ness that there was a problem and her turning to Christ who could solve it.
Doctrine: Marriage in the Lord § Marriage is the freely chosen, exclusive, and life-long union of a man and woman. This union is a privileged participation in God’s original covenant with mankind: friendship between God and each person.
§ God and his people, Israel, entered a “nuptial covenant.” Christ has established a “new and everlasting” nuptial covenant with humanity: “the Son of God, by becoming incarnate and giving his life, has united to himself in a certain way all mankind saved by him, thus preparing for ‘the wedding-feast of the Lamb’.” (CCC 1612) § “Jesus unequivocally taught” that “the matrimonial union of man and woman is indissoluble” and that this truth is part of the Creator’s will “from the beginning”: “what therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder” (CCC 1614). § In this way, Christ has restored “the original order of creation disturbed by sin.” He has not placed on spouses an impossible burden. Rather, “he himself gives the strength and grace to live marriage.” (CCC 1615) § “By following Christ, renouncing themselves, and taking up their crosses . . . spouses will be able to ‘receive’ the original meaning of marriage and live it with the help of Christ” (CCC 1615). § “Christian marriage” is “an efficacious sign, the sacrament of the covenant of Christ and the Church. Since it signifies and communicates grace, marriage between baptized persons is a true sacrament of the New Covenant.” (CCC 1617) § In a sense, every Christian is married, either to one’s spouse in the Lord or just to the Lord as a member of the Church: “Already Baptism, the entry into the People of God, is a nuptial mystery; it is so to speak the nuptial bath which precedes the wedding feast, the Eucharist” (CCC 1617).

ADORATION IN THE PARISH
We have recently been approached by a diocesan team
who promote Eucharistic Adorations in parishes and they
will come on 20th Jan to speak about it.
The idea is to start a day of adoration each Friday from
10.30am to 7pm, we would need volunteers for this
since four people need to be present all the time.
Thanks, Fr Philip

The 200 Club
I would like to thank so many people who joined the 200 Club last January.
Your help has been enormous to make the 200 Club so much more profitable and being able to help Fr. Philip
with the costs of looking after the Church. I do hope that you all will be able to pay up again this year. Any one can join and look forward to seeing you
all after all the Masses. Thank you all very much for your great support.
