2) The Wedding at Cana
3) Proclamation of the Kingdom
4) The Transfiguration

Call to mind any intentions and pray that they may be in union with God's will.
1) Make the sign of the cross. (In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.)
2) Recite the Apostles Creed:
​
I believe in God, the Father almighty creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
