Second Sunday Ordinary Time Today’s first reading from Isaiah arises out of the ordeal of the people of Jerusalem and Judea as they antici-pate the end of seventy years of exile in Babylon. Their sufferings and their oppression will end, and they are promised joy like that of a great wedding upon returning to their homeland. Although this passage is probably set in the early sixth century B.C., it is free of historical par-ticulars. Accordingly, the Church has understood its im-agery universally, as it proclaims God’s promise of heal-ing, hope, and happiness for all peoples, in this world and in the next. When read against this background, the story of Jesus’ turning water into wine at the wedding at Cana becomes a revelation of God’s presence in the person of Jesus, making these promises real for us in the here and now, in the transformation of our own lives. EPIPHANY—AGAIN? Two weeks ago, Christians celebrated the Epiph-any of the Lord, or the revelation of God’s light to the world, in the visit of the magi to the Christ child. In other centuries, the wedding at Cana was also included in the Epiphany, as were other events, such the baptism of Jesus and even the Nativity itself. We now have separate, yearly celebrations of the Nativity, the magi, and Jesus’ baptism, but this Second Sunday of Ordinary Time, in Year C of the Lectionary cycle, is the only celebration of the wed-ding at Cana. Even so, wedding imagery seems to domi-nate the Church’s understanding of those other epipha-nies, as we see in the antiphon used in the Liturgy of the Hours for the Epiphany. It refers to the Christ as the Bridegroom and the Church as his bride, and to the magi as hastening with their gifts to the royal wedding. It con-cludes with the rejoicing of the wedding guests. SIGNS IN JOHN—EPIPHANIES OF THE ROYAL WEDDING John the Evangelist describes the turning of wa-ter into wine at the wedding in Cana as “the beginning” of the signs that Jesus would perform to manifest God’s glo-ry. “Beginning” here means more than first in a series. “The beginning” points to the source of all the signs in that “royal wedding” of divinity and humanity in Jesus as the Word become flesh, elevating and transforming every-thing it touches. The wine that Jesus provided was better than the water that had previously filled the stone jars, and it was better than the wine the guests had already been drinking. Early Christian writers saw in this transformation of water into wine an anticipation of Jesus’ transformation of wine into his own blood. The epiphany at Cana shows us how to become participants in that great wedding of divinity and humanity. Cleansed in holy waters and shar-ers in the wine that has become Christ’s blood, we too can be transformed into signs of God’s glorious love.

Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario ¿EPIFANÍA, OTRA VEZ?
Hace dos semanas, los cristianos celebramos la Epifanía del Señor, o la manifestación de la luz de Dios en el mundo, en la visita de los magos a Cristo niño. En otros siglos, la boda de Cana también estaba incluida en la Epifanía, al igual que otros eventos, como el bautismo de Jesús e incluso la misma Navidad. Nosotros ahora las hemos separado, celebraciones anuales de la Navidad, los magos y el bautismo de Jesús, pero este Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario en el año C del leccionario, es la única celebración de la boda de Cana. Aun así, imágenes de boda pare-ce dominar la comprensión de la Iglesia de esas otras epifanías, así como las vemos en la antífona que usamos en la Liturgia de las Horas para la Epifanía. Esta antífona se refiere a Cristo como el novio y la Iglesia como la novia, y los magos apurándose a dar sus regalos al matrimonio real. Termina con el júbilo de los invi-tados a la boda. LOS SIGNOS EN JUAN—LAS EPIFANÍAS DEL MATRI-MONIO REAL
Juan el evangelista describe la conversión de agua en vino en la boda de Cana como “el comienzo” de los signos que Jesús realizaría para manifestar la gloria de Dios. “El comienzo” aquí significa más que lo primero en una serie. “El comienzo” señala al origen de todos los signos en que el “matrimonio real” de la divinidad y la humanidad en Jesús como la Palabra hecha carne, elevando y transformando todo lo que toca. El vino que Jesús proporciona fue mejor que el agua con previamente había llenado las ánforas, y era mucho mejor que el vino que los invita-dos ya habían estado tomando.
Los primeros escritores cristianos vieron en esta trans-formación del agua en vino una anticipación de la transformación de Jesús al vino de su propia sangre. La epifanía en Cana nos muestra cómo hacernos colaboradores en esa gran boda de la divinidad y humanidad. Limpios en las aguas sagradas y dividi-dos en el vino en el que la sangre de Jesús se ha convertido, noso-tros también podemos ser transformados en signos del amor glo-rioso de Dios.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En 1502 el Fraile Nicolás de Ovando y doce francis-canos dieron inicio a la evangelización de América en la República Dominicana. Ellos fueron enviados por los reyes españoles con el mandato de convertir a los nativos “sin les hacer fuerza alguna”. Con los misioneros llegaron Alfonso y Antonio Trejo quienes traían con ellos un cuadro de la Virgen María bajo la advocación de Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia. Ellos la llevaron a Higuey, donde en 1572 se le construyó su primer santuario. Poco a poco esta pequeña imagen se convirtió en la Reina del corazón de los dominicanos. María observa dulcemente a su recién nacido quien yace sobres las pajas. Está coronada y lleva puesto un manto azul rociado de estrellas y un escapulario blanco. Lleva una aureola hecha de doce estrellas. En una esquina de la imagen san José también observa al niño por encima del hombro derecho de María. El 25 de enero del 1979 Juan Pablo II la coronó por ser la primera evangelizadora del continente Americano. Con ella los doce misioneros trajeron la Alta Gracia de Jesucristo a nuestras tierras. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
