Dear Parents,
In this Sunday’s Gospel Jesus tells Nicodemus that as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert to save the grumbling Israelites who had been bitten by snakes, the son of man must be lifted up. Jesus is the light of the world and whoever looks at Him lifted up on the cross and believes in Him will be saved. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life” (John3:16).

Dear Families,
In this week’s Gospel, Jesus says Heaven is like a rare pearl and so precious we would want to give up everything to have it!
This parable also helps us to realize that to God, we are that pearl. Jesus gave up his very life because he thinks we are precious too.

Dear Families,
It is the Second Sunday in Advent, and in this Sunday’s Gospel John the Baptist baptized with water as a symbol that the people were leaving their old, sinful ways behind. He was preparing them for when Jesus would baptize them with the Holy Spirit and change them forever.

Family Prayer: Lord, please help us to prepare not only for Christmas celebrations, but also for your arrival in our hearts. Amen

Dear Parents,
Jesus does not like injustice or bad actions. In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus is not happy with the people who are using the Temple for profit rather than for love of God. He says the Temple will be destroyed and built again in three days, but he is talking about himself!
As a family watch video in its entirety and then ask each other this question. What things in your life do you need to get rid of so you can focus more on God?
Family Prayer: Holy Spirit, show us how to let go of things we do not need. Amen

Dear Parents,
In this week’s Gospel, Jesus took Peter, James, and John on top of a high mountain and they see the Transfiguration of Jesus. Jesus clothes became dazzling white. Two great men appeared with him. Moses who gave the Israelites the Ten Commandments, and Elijah a great prophet who taught the people to be faithful to God. From a cloud they hear God say “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” They wondered what all of this means. Jesus disciples probably wanted to tell everyone what they saw, but Jesus asked them to wait until after his death. Jesus died and resurrected, now they understood and shared this special memory with others that Jesus is God’s beloved Son.
As a family watch video in its entirety and then ask each other this question. How will you change and grow during Lent?
Family Prayer: Lord, help us to remember we also are God’s beloved children. Amen
