Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Parish Family-Alive!
The Mystery of a Cup
of Wine
and some drops of Water
The Preparation of the Altar and the
Offerings: So much is happening at this part of
the Mass – singing; ushers collecting envelopes;
the procession of the gifts of bread and wine; etc.
etc. Most of us see the priest lifting up the paten
with the host and the chalice with the wine, but
we may miss a gesture that happens in between
these two motions.
Before lifting up the chalice, the priest
goes to the side of the altar, fills most of the
chalice with wine, but then adds just a few drops
of water. Here are the words that are said as this
is done: By the mystery of this water and wine
may we come to share in the divinity of Christ who
humbled himself to share in our humanity.
The water, representing us, drops into the wine,
completely mingling with it. In a sense, it now
abides in the wine which represents Christ. When
pondering this gesture with children we ask
them: after the water has been poured, can we
retrieve it? Can we separate the water and the
wine? Why, no! Ah! This is how close to us Jesus
wishes to be!
The disciples in today’s gospel ask Jesus –
Where do you abide?
How would you answer that question?
A Biblical Walk through the Mass- continues
Join - Parish Family Alive! for
A video presentation exploring the biblical roots
of the words and gestures of the Liturgy.
You can join in at -any session Mondays – January 19th, January 26th, and February 2nd

In order to help us prepare for the World Meeting of
Families and the visit of Pope Francis, a catechism on
family life entitled, Love is Our Mission: The Family
Fully Alive, has been prepared. Each month, our parish
is reflecting on one chapter from this catechism. For
previous months’ reflections, visit: PhillyEvang.org/
wmof. You can order a copy of the catechism at
WorldMeeting2015.org.
January 2015: Chapter 3: The Meaning of Human
Sexuality “Love is Our Mission” because God created
us for a reason: to love us, and for us to love one
another (Chapter 1). God’s covenant with Israel and the
Church reveals what God’s love is like: tender and
passionate, but also steadfast and sacrificial (Chapter 2).
In Chapter 3, we learn that the bodily, earthly world has
spiritual significance. Tangible things - sacramentals,
acts of charity, sacred art and culture, our liturgical
feasts and fasts - have the capacity to reveal the glory of
God. Marriage, as one of the sacraments, reveals this to
us in a special way. The bodies of the spouses, in the
complementarity of their masculinity and femininity,
have the unique role of revealing God’s nature as a
communion of life-giving love. How can a man and a
woman imitate God’s love together? How can they live
in a way that is intimate and committed, joyful and
merciful, forgiving and fertile? Through their
participation in the life of the Church, this kind of love
becomes possible. God’s love is not an audition, or a
temporary experiment, or a self-seeking negotiation. In
the same way, marriage is never a private, inward
romance, but always discovers its true nature in relation
to God and his wider purposes. A sacramental
marriage is called to be a little parable of God’s love,
always ordered to joy and service. All Catholic sexual
ethics flow from these ideas. In our next chapter, we
will reflect in depth on marriage, followed by the next
chapter about celibacy. –Dr. Christopher C. Roberts and
Meghan Cokeley
