March, 05, 2000 Week of the Wedding at Cana in Galilee First Reading: 2Corinthians 4:6 -11 (English):
God is shining in our hearts so the life of Jesus may be known through our bodies. In our life we face so many difficulties that afflict us in every way so Jesus can be made visible in our mortal flesh.Second Reading: Romans 14:13 - 23 (Lebanese):
In this reading, St. Paul asks us not to be a reason of sin for others, because being doubtful is a sin, and causing others to be doubtful is a bigger sin.Gospel: John 2: 1 - 12 (English & Lebanese):
In this Gospel reading, Jesus transformed the water into wine, giving all the guests joy and happiness and he gave us the new wine, his blood for the eternal life. We also see Mother Mary interceding for us. She is always there in our joy and our sadness.

Leamington Ministerial Association invites all the Christians to pray for each other.
This week we pray for :
Leamington United Church.Prayer to keep a True Lent
· Is this a Fast, to keep the larder lean and clean from fat of veals and sheep?
· Is it to quit the dish of flesh, yet still to fill the platter high with fish?
· Is it to fast an hour or ragged to go, or show, a down-cast look and sour?
· No: this is a Fast to dole thy sheaf of wheat and meat unto the hungry soul.
· It is to fast from strife and old debate, and hate; to circumcise thy life.
· To show a heart grief-rent; to starve thy sin, not bin; and that's to keep thy Lent. "Robert Herrick"
* Papal Prayer: That the Holy Year, a favorable time for repentance and mercy, foster in us deep and lasting conversion. That the Virgin Mary, Mother of the Savior, may protect and sustain missionaries in their apostolic work.
