As part of the Eucharistic Revival in the Diocese of Austin, priests from around the diocese are recording “60 Seconds with the Eucharist.” Father Henry Cuellar, pastor of St. Joseph Parish in Manor, recorded his reflection in English and Spanish.
Established in 1947, the Diocese of Austin was the seventh diocese in the state of Texas. Read more about its history, and anniversary celebration plans!
This weekend, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, also known as Corpus Christi Sunday. The source and summit of the Christian life, this celebration highlights the belief that in the Eucharist we come into the real presence of Christ. When the priest, who is in the person of Christ, pronounces the words, “This is my Body, this is my Blood,” the bread and wine become the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ.
