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).

Family Prayer: Lord, keep us close to the light of Christ and help us avoid the darkness of sin. Amen

Dear Families,
It is the fourth Sunday of Advent. In this Sunday’s Gospel the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and asked her to be the mother of Jesus. She said yes to God’s invitation. Mary believed God could do impossible things. Through her yes, she brought Jesus into the world. This Thursday, December 25th, after all the waiting and preparation, our Savior is here. It is a time of great joy. Merry Christmas to all. May the birth of our Savior open your hearts to his love.
As a family watch video in its entirety and then ask each other this question. How do you show that you believe God can do impossible things? How is Jesus a gift in your life? How do you share this gift with others?
Family Prayer: Dear God, show us how to bring Jesus to others.

Dear Families,
This Sunday’s Gospel is very important to Catholics because it describes when Jesus gave his Church the papacy (pope).
Jesus changed Simon’s name to Peter and gave Peter the ability to bind or forgive sins
(the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation).
As a family, watch video in its entirety and then ask each other this question.
Why do you think the Sacrament of Reconciliation is a gift Jesus gave us?
Family Prayer: Jesus, help us to always run towards you and change anything that
keeps us from you. Amen

Dear Families,
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus tries to explain that he will die and rise again three days later. This frightens the Apostles.
Peter doesn’t want Jesus to say these things. Jesus (who just gave Peter authority in the Church) scolds Peter for his lack of trust.
Even someone as important as Peter needs correction at times.
As a family, watch video in its entirety and then ask each other this question.
How does God use others to correct you or teach you?
Family Prayer: Jesus, you always know the right path for us.
Help us to trust that you will help us find our way. Amen
