Dear Families,

In this week’s Gospel, Jesus message is to love God above all else and love your neighbor as yourself. He teaches us that the greatest commandment to love God with all our hearts is to love others and

ourselves with His love.

As a family watch video in its entirety than ask each other this question. Which person do you know needs love the most?

Family Prayer: Dear Lord, show us how to love you, others, and ourselves. Amen

Dear Families,

In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus teaches us the Beatitudes which is a list of attitudes and actions that help people find happiness. We are called to be peacemakers, to be humble, merciful, and clean of heart. Today we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints. Studying the lives of the saints shows us how other people have lived out these Beatitudes as holy examples for us.

As a family watch video in its entirety than ask each other this question. How can you put into practice these teachings of Jesus?

Family Prayer: Lord, teach us to understand the Beatitudes and follow the example of the saints. Amen

Dear Families,

In this Sunday’s Gospel, the Seventh Sunday of Easter, Jesus prayed for His disciples. He prays that they would be one as he and the Father are one. That God would protect them and that they would be made holy by the truth of God’s word.

This week’s video is on the Ascension of the Lord into Heaven. Thursday, May 13 we celebrated Jesus returning to the Father in Heaven. Forty days after Jesus rose from the dead, He gathered his disciples and told them to wait for the coming of the Holy Spirit, and then he went up through the clouds and returned to God the Father in Heaven. Before Jesus ascended into Heaven, he asked his disciples to proclaim God’s salvation to all nations. Jesus wants us to tell and show others how much he loves them.

As a family, watch video in its entirety and ask each other this question:

How can you proclaim the Gospel to others?

Family Prayer: Lord, help us to spend time reading your Word in the Bible. Strengthen us to share it with others. 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
