Weekly Meditation from the Diocese of Austin - June 27, 2010

Reflection Questions from the Weekly E-Pistle a publication of the Diocese of Austin.

Please consider the following question as a reflection on the Gospel for the 12th Sunday of Ordinary Time (June 27, 2010):

• Jesus instructs us to avoid focusing on the past but rather to look ahead. What in your life still needs to be “let go” in order for you to be fit for the kingdom of God?

• Jesús nos enseña que evitemos enfocarnos en el pasado y en su lugar, ver hacia adelante. ¿Qué hay en su vida que aún usted necesita “desprenderse o soltar” para prepararse para el Reino de Dios?

Weekly Meditation from the Diocses of Austin

Reflection from today's Gospel reading:


Please consider using the following question for the feast of Corpus Christi:

• Just as Christ fed the multitudes with the loaves and fish, he feeds us each day in the Eucharist. Our Eucharist is not a sign or a symbol, but the true flesh and blood of Jesus Christ, ponder or meditate on what that truth means to you.

• Así como Cristo alimentó a la multitud con los panes y los peces, El nos alimenta todos los días en la Eucaristía. Nuestra Eucaristía no es un símbolo o un signo, sino el verdadero cuerpo y sangre de Jesucristo, considere y medite en lo que significa esta verdad para usted.
