Gospel: Luke 9:18–24 Take up the cross. We find Jesus in today’s Gospel taking the question of who his disciples think he is and turning it around, telling us who we must be. If we are to follow him, we must be willing to do as he did, that is, take up our cross each and every day. As we reflect on these readings today, perhaps the question for us is how we lose our life in order to save it. 340-774-0054 DAILY READINGS Sunday/Domingo, June 19 Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 2016 7:30 AM - †Rita Vessup Rb.

Concédenos conocerte a fondo por la fe, la amistad y la oración; y haz que, queriendo a nuestros hermanos, nos entreguemos a la fascinante tarea de amarte apasionadamente. Amén. (Tomado de B.

MINISTERIO DE LOS ENFERMOS Personas que tengan familiares o amigos enfermos en el hospital o en sus casas deben de comunicarse con la Catedral al 774-0201. Pistas para la Oración Señor Jesús, también hoy nos preguntas a nosotros: ¿quién dicen que soy yo? O mejor ¿quién soy para ustedes? En medio de un mundo que prefiere ídolos y promesas de engaño Te confesamos Hijo de Dios y único salvador del hombre. ¿A quién otro podemos seguir, Señor, que no nos defraude? Solamente tú tienes palabras y hechos de vida eterna. Te creemos resucitado y vivo en el mundo, hoy como ayer, y estamos seguros: vives en nosotros por medio de tu Espíritu. Concédenos conocerte a fondo por la fe, la amistad y la oración; y haz que, queriendo a nuestros hermanos, nos entreguemos a la fascinante tarea de amarte apasionadamente. Amén. (Tomado de B. Caballero: La Palabra Cada Domingo, San Pablo, España, 1993, p. 536) 6 Ss.

Gospel: Luke 9:18–24 Take up the cross. We find Jesus in today’s Gospel taking the question of who his disciples think he is and turning it around, telling us who we must be. If we are to follow him, we must be willing to do as he did, that is, take up our cross each and every day. As we reflect on these readings today, perhaps the question for us is how we lose our life in order to save it. 340-774-0054 DAILY READINGS Sunday/Domingo, June 19 Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 2016 7:30 AM - †Rita Vessup Rb.
