Weekly Meditation from the Diocese of Austin - September 12, 2010

September 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 24th Sunday of Ordinary Time (September 12, 2010):

• The story of the Prodigal Son teaches us that even when we falter (by sinning), when we return to God our Father, he will welcome us back with joy. Is there someone who has trespassed against you that you need to forgive?

• La historia del Hijo Pródigo nos enseña que aun cuando fallamos (al pecar), al regresar a Dios, nuestro Padre, él nos dará la bienvenida y nos recibirá con alegría. ¿Hay alguien que ha hecho algo en contra de usted, que lo ha ofendido y que tiene que perdonar?

O God,
bless our family and all its members and friends;
bind us together by your love.
Give us kindnes and patience to support each other;
and wisdom in all we do.
Let the gift of your peace come into our hearts
and remain with us.
May we rejoice in your blessings for all our days.
Amen.
