From the Second Sunday in Epiphany

Sequentia Evangelii Secundum Joannem (2: 1-11).

In illo témpore: Núptiæ factæ sunt in Cana Galilææ: et erat mater Jesu ibi. Vocátus est autem et Jesus, et discípuli ejus ad núptias. Et deficiénte vino, dicit mater Jesu ad eum: Vinum non habent. Et dicit ei Jesus: Quid mihi et tibi est, múlieræ nondum venit hora mea. Dicit mater ejus minístris: Quodcúmque díxerit vobis, fácite. Erant autem ibi lapídeæ hýdriæ sex pósitæ secúndum purificatiónem Judæórum, capiéntes síngulæ metrétas binas vel ternas. Dicit eis Jesus: Impléte hýdrias aqua. Et implevérunt eas usque ad sum-mum. Et dicit eis Jesus: Hauríte nunc, et ferte architriclíno. Et tulérunt. Ut autem gustávit architriclínus aquam vinum factam, et non sciébat unde esset, minístri autem sciébant, qui háuserant aquam: vocat sponsum architriclínus, et dicit ei: Omnis homo primum bonum vinum ponit: et cum inebriáti fúerint, tunc id quod detérius est: tu autem servásti bonum vinum usque adhuc. Hoc fecit inítium signórum Jesus in Cana Galilææ: et manifestávit glóriam suam, et credidérunt in eum discípuli ejus.


῾Ο γάμος τῆς Κανᾶ

Β´\ΚΑΙ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ γάμος ἐγένετο ἐν Κανᾷ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, καὶ ἦν ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ ᾿Ιησοῦ ἐκεῖ· 2 ἐκλήθη δὲ καὶ ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν γάμον. 3 καὶ ὑστερήσαντος οἴνου λέγει ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ ᾿Ιησοῦ πρὸς αὐτόν· οἶνον οὐκ ἔχουσι. 4 λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς· τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί, γύναι; οὔπω ἥκει ἡ ὥρα μου. 5 λέγει ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ τοῖς διακόνοις· ὅ,τι ἂν λέγῃ ὑμῖν, ποιήσατε. 6 ἦσαν δὲ ἐκεῖ ὑδρίαι λίθιναι ἓξ κείμεναι κατὰ τὸν καθαρισμὸν τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων, χωροῦσαι ἀνὰ μετρητὰς δύο ἢ τρεῖς. 7 λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς· γεμίσατε τὰς ὑδρίας ὕδατος. καὶ ἐγέμισαν αὐτὰς ἕως ἄνω. 8 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· ἀντλήσατε νῦν καὶ φέρετε τῷ ἀρχιτρικλίνῳ. καὶ ἤνεγκαν. 9 ὡς δὲ ἐγεύσατο ὁ ἀρχιτρίκλινος τὸ ὕδωρ οἶνον γεγενημένον –καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει πόθεν ἐστίν· οἱ δὲ διάκονοι ᾔδεισαν οἱ ἠντληκότες τὸ ὕδωρ– φωνεῖ τὸν νυμφίον ὁ ἀρχιτρίκλινος 10 καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· πᾶς ἄνθρωπος πρῶτον τὸν καλὸν οἶνον τίθησι, καὶ ὅταν μεθυσθῶσι, τότε τὸν ἐλάσσω· σὺ τετήρηκας τὸν καλὸν οἶνον ἕως ἄρτι. 11 Ταύτην ἐποίησε τὴν ἀρχὴν τῶν σημείων ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ἐν Κανᾷ τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ ἐφανέρωσε τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ.

Lesson vii
Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem
The Lesson is taken from the Holy Gospel according to John
Chap. 2, 1-11
In illo témpore : Núptiæ factæ sunt in Cana Galilææ, et erat mater Jesu ibi.  Vocátus est autem et Jesus, et discípuli ejus ad núptias.   Et réliqua.
At that time : There was a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and the Mother of Jesus was there.  And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.  And so on, and that which followeth.
Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi
A Homily by St. Augustine the Bishop
Tract. 9 in Joannem, post init.

Quod Dóminus invitátus venit ad núptias, étiam excépta mystica significatióne, confirmáre vóluit, quod ipse fecit núptias.  Futúri enim erant, de quibus dixit Apóstolus, prohibéntes núbere, et dicéntes quod malum essent núptiæ, et quod diábolus eas fecísset : cum idem Dóminus dicat in Evangélio interrogátus, utrum líceat hómini dimíttere uxórem suam ex quálibet causa, non licére, excépta causa fornicatiónis.  In qua responsióne, si meminístis, hoc ait : Quod Deus conjúnxit, homo non séparet.
The fact that the Lord was pleased to be asked, and thereupon to go to the marriage, sheweth plainly enough (apart from any mystical significance in his act) that he is the Author and Blesser of marriage.  For there were those of whom the Apostle hath warned us, who were yet to come, which same were to prohíbit marriage, and to say that matrimony is a bad thing in itself, and a work of the devil.  As against any such teaching, we read in the Gospel that when the Lord was asked, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? he answered that it was not lawful, saving for the cause of fornication.  In which answer ye will remember that he used these words : What God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
V.  Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R.  Deo grátias.
V.  But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R.  Thanks be to God.
R.  Ad te, Dómine, levávi ánimam meam : * Deus meus, in te confído, non erubéscam.
V.  Custódi ánimam meam, et éripe me.
R.  Deus meus, in te confído, non erubéscam.
R.  Unto thee, O Lord, will I lift up my soul ; My God, I have put my trust in thee, O let me never be confounded.
V.  O keep my soul, and deliver me.
R.  My God, I have put my trust in thee, O let me never be confounded.

V.  Jube domne, (Dómine) benedícere.
V.  Vouchsafe, Reverend Father (O Lord), thy blessing.
Benedíctio 8: Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.
R.  Amen.

Benediction 8: May help divine be with us all, for ever abiding.
R.  Amen.

Lesson viii

Et qui bene erudíti sunt in fide cathólica novérunt, quod Deus fécerit núptias : et sicut conjúnctio a Deo, ita divórtium a diábolo sit.  Sed proptérea in causa fornicatiónis licet uxórem dimíttere : quia ipsa esse uxor prior nóluit, quæ fidem conjugálem maríto non servávit.  Nec illæ, quæ virginitátem Deo vovent, quamquam ampliórem gradum honóris et sanctitátis in Ecclésia téneant, sine núptiis sunt : nam et ipsæ pértinent ad núptias cum tota Ecclésia, in quibus núptiis sponsus est Christus.
They who are well instructed in the Catholick religion know that God is the Author and Blesser of marriage ; and that, even as union in marriage is of God, so divorce is of the devil.  But it is lawful for a man to put away his wife in case of fornication, because she herself hath refused to be a wife in that she keepeth not wedded-faith with her husband.  They also who have made a vow of their virginity to God, and have thereby attained to a higher degree of holy honour in the Church, are not to be considered as unmarried, for they are a special part of the marriage of the whole Church, which is the Bride of Christ.
V.  Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R.  Deo grátias.
V.  But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R.  Thanks be to God.
R.  Duo Séraphim clamábant alter ad álterum : *Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth :* Plena est omnis terra glória ejus.
V.  Tres sunt qui testimónium dant in cælo : Pater, Verbum, et Spíritus Sanctus : et hi tres unum sunt.
R.  Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth.
V.  Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
R.  Plena est omnis terra glória ejus.
R.  The two Seraphim did cry the One to the Other: * Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of Hosts : *The whole earth is full of his glory.
V.  For there are Three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost : and these Three are One.
R.  Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of Hosts.
V.  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R.  The whole earth is full of his glory.

V.  Jube domne, (Dómine) benedícere.
V.  Vouchsafe, Reverend Father (O Lord), thy blessing.
Benedíctio 9: Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.
R.  Amen.

Benediction 9: May the King of Angels give us fellowship with all the citizens of heaven.
R.  Amen.

Lesson ix

Ac per hoc ergo Dóminus invitátus venit ad núptias, ut conjugális cástitas firmarétur, et ostenderétur sacraméntum nuptiárum : quia et illárum nuptiárum sponsus persónam Dómini figurábat cui dictum est : Servásti vinum bonum usque adhuc.  Bonum enim vinum Christus servávit usque adhuc, id est, Evangélium suum.
The Lord, being asked, went to the marriage, to strengthen the marriage bond, and to shed light on the hidden meaning of Holy Matrimony.  In this marriage feast the bridegroom to whom it was said : Thou hast kept the good wine until now : was a figure of Christ, who hath kept until now the good wine, namely the Gospel.
V.  Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R.  Deo grátias.
V.  But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R.  Thanks be to God.
TE DEUM LAUDAMUS
TE DEUM
