Introduction to Mass                                   Wednesday after Epiphany
In today’s Gospel reading Jesus goes to his disciples as they struggle to row against the winds on the Sea of Galilee.  This particular incident is not so much a rescue story as an epiphany ─ a revelation of God on the waters.  It demonstrates that Jesus is the One who comes among his own people to reveal and to save.
This is the same Jesus that we acknowledge and celebrate in this holy season.
Penitential Rite:
1.     Lord Jesus,    You came to reveal the Father’s love for us.                                  Lord, have mercy.
2.                             You come to save us and be our help.      
                        Christ, have mercy.
3.                             You sustain us with the bread of life.          
                        Lord, have mercy.
 
Prayer of the Faithful
Conclusion:  God our Father, We come to you in our need. 
You reveal your presence and help us in the realities of our
daily lives.  We thank you for your gifts and for your life among us.
Through Christ our Lord.
