TIMOTHY 1 1:1-11
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope, To Timothy my true son in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer or todevote themselves tomythsand endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God’s work which is by faith. The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk. They want to be teachers of the law, but
they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.
We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.
JOHN 2:1-11
On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
“Woman,awhydoyouinvolveme?”Jesusreplied.“Myhourhasnotyet come.”
Hismothersaidtotheservants,“Dowhateverhetellsyou.”
Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. b Jesussaidtotheservants,“Fillthejarswithwater”;sotheyfilledthemto the brim.
Thenhetoldthem, “Nowdrawsomeoutandtakeitto themasterofthe banquet.”
Theydid so,and themaster ofthe banquettasted thewater that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have savedthebesttillnow.”
What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
ARMENIAN CHRISTMAS IN JERUSALEM
The Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem celebrates Christmas on January 19. According to an ancient tradition, Christmas for us, Armenians, falls on January 6 by the Gregorian (new) calendar, that corresponds to January 19 in the Julian (old) calendar, which have a difference of 13 days. The Christmas celebrations of the Armenian Apostolic Church in the Holy Land start with the procession of Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem, together with the clergy and the faithful, who travel from Jerusalem to the city of Bethlehem, to the Church of Nativity of Christ. The Armenian scouts and their band, lead the procession to the Manger Square and then into the Church of Nativity, while clergy, seminarians and the faithful join in. The Vespers and Christmas Eve Mass take place in the Basilica of Nativity, which is overseen by the Armenian Orthodox, the Catholic and the Greek Orthodox churches.
