Genesis 2:4-9, 15-17
4These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
5when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up—for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;
6but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground—
7then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
8And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9And out of the ground the LORD God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
15The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it.
16And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
17but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die.”
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 104:1-2, 27-30
1Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, thou art very great! Thou art clothed with honor and majesty,
2who coverest thyself with light as with a garment, who hast stretched out the heavens like a tent,
27These all look to thee, to give them their food in due season.
28When thou givest to them, they gather it up; when thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good things.
29When thou hidest thy face, they are dismayed; when thou takest away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
30When thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the ground.
Gospel
Mark 7:14-23
14And he called the people to him again, and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand:
15there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him.”
17And when he had entered the house, and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.
18And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him,
19since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
20And he said, “What comes out of a man is what defiles a man.
21For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery,
22coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.
23All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man.”

Isaiah 66:10-14
10“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice with her in joy, all you who mourn over her;
11that you may suck and be satisfied with her consoling breasts; that you may drink deeply with delight from the abundance of her glory.”
12For thus says the LORD: “Behold, I will extend prosperity to her like a river, and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing stream; and you shall suck, you shall be carried upon her hip, and dandled upon her knees.
13As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice; your bones shall flourish like the grass; and it shall be known that the hand of the LORD is with his servants, and his indignation is against his enemies.
Responsorial Psalm
Judith 13:18-19
18And Uzziʹah said to her, “O daughter, you are blessed by the Most High God above all women on earth; and blessed be the Lord God, who created the heavens and the earth, who has guided you to strike the head of the leader of our enemies.
19Your hope will never depart from the hearts of men, as they remember the power of God.
Gospel
John 2:1-11
1On the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;
2Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples.
3When the wine failed, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
4And Jesus said to her, “O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come.”
5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
7Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.
8He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the steward of the feast.” So they took it.
9When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom
10and said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first; and when men have drunk freely, then the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.”
11This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
