Sunday of the Entrance into Great Lent (The Miracle at Cana in Galilee).

February 19, 2023: Cana Sunday, the Sunday of the Entrance into Great Lent

O Christ, the only-begotten Son, on this day you chose to sit among the invited guests, enriching them with the abundance of your divine gifts. As your disciples believed that you are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God, we also believe in you. In place of the old Law, you have given us your new Gospel, and instead of the fruit of the vine, you have quenched our thirst with the chalice of your redeeming blood.

Now, O Lord, we ask you, with the fragrance of this incense, and through the intercession of your Virgin Mother, whose request you granted, that we may always drunk of your holy wine, quenching our thirst with your heavenly love. May your light shine in the world, and may we know that you are the spring of living water from which we may drink.

O Lord, bless our families and our Lenten journey, that we may reach the harbor of salvation, which is the glorious feast of your Resurrection. We glorify and thank you, your Father, and your Holy Spirit, for ever.

Amen.
