5/25/25 - Jesus Promises to Send the Holy Spirit - Cycle C

Dear Families,

In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus promises his disciples that he will send the Holy Spirit after he was gone. They would never be alone; the Holy Spirit would teach them. God the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Holy Trinity, would come to them and guide them in what they needed to do to continue his teachings.

Jesus’ promise is still with us today. The Holy Spirit is always working with us. He inspires all of us to do what is right, learn the truth, and share our faith. He is the perfect teacher and knows what we need to learn and the best way to teach it to us.

As a family watch video in its entirety and then ask each other these questions.
What is the Holy Spirit teaching you? How does the Holy Spirit teach you?

Family Prayer: Come Holy Spirit, help us to learn what God needs us to know. Amen.

6/1/25 - What is the Ascension? - Cycle C

Dear Families,

Thursday, May 29^th was the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord, and the video for this week will reflect on the readings of that day. Forty days after his resurrection, Jesus took his disciples up to a hill and they saw him disappear into a cloud. It must have been hard for the apostles to watch Jesus leave them and ascend to Heaven.

As a family watch video in its entirety and then ask each other these questions.
Where did He go? What did he say? What did he promise?

Family Prayer: Lord, turn our minds and hearts toward heaven. Give us a desire to live there someday with you. Amen.

6/8/25 - Pentecost Sunday - Cycle C

Dear Families,

This Sunday is the feast of Pentecost and we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles ten days after his Ascension into heaven.

Let us celebrate the gifts of the Holy Spirit by remembering that this same Holy Spirit is with us today. He helps us do what is right so that we may go out to share the words of Jesus and spread the message of God’s love and forgiveness.

As a family watch video in its entirety and then ask each other this question.
How are you sharing the love of the Holy Spirit with others?

Family Prayer: Holy Spirit, fill our hearts with your love so that we can bring your peace and forgiveness to one another. Amen.
