5/9/25- Jesus Is Our Good Shepherd - Cycle C
Dear Families,
Sunday’s Gospel helps us recognize that we are part of God’s family. Jesus says, “My sheep hear my voice.” We are his sheep. He also tells us that he and the Father are one. We know God the Father because we know Jesus. Likewise, when others meet us, they should see Jesus in us.
As a family watch video in its entirety then ask each other this question.
How can you show Jesus to others through your words and actions?
Family Prayer: Jesus, help us to be like you. So that when others meet us, they see you in us. Amen

1/26/25 - The Word of God - Cycle C
Dear Families,
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus was in his hometown Nazareth where he grew up. Being a faithful Jew He was attending the synagogue on the Sabbath. He was called to read the Scripture and make a comment. Jesus reads aloud from the scroll of the prophet Isaiah and announces that this Scripture is now fulfilled. He will bring Good News to the poor, sight to the blind, and freedom to captives. Jesus is proclaiming himself as the anointed one when he said, “Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.”
Jesus tells the people about his mission, the work that he will do to bring forth God’s Kingdom. Every kind thing we do is a way to serve God’s Kingdom. When we read the Word of God and reach out to people in need, we follow Jesus and continue his work showing people God’s love.

How do we bring people Good News the way Jesus does?
Family Prayer: Jesus, thank you for showing us how to love others. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we will continue your mission. Amen

5/18/25 - The New Commandment - Cycle C
Dear Families,
In the Old Testament, before Jesus came, there were many commandments. Jesus obeyed the commandments, but in this week’s Gospel, Jesus gave his disciples a new commandment. He told his disciples to love one another. Jesus wants us to love each other the way he loves us. We must look at how Jesus loves us. He loves us completely and unconditionally. He is ready to forgive any offense. He sacrificed his life for us.
Let us turn to God and let him transform our hearts and free us to love others with compassion and kindness. Show that you are a follower of Jesus by how you love others. .
As a family watch video in its entirety then ask each other these questions.
How does Jesus show his love for you? How can you imitate his love?
Family Prayer: Jesus, help us to love every member of our family the way you love us. Give us the grace to put each other first and be willing to sacrifice for them. Let us show the world we are your disciples by how we love one another. Amen

3/2/25 - The Blind Leading the Blind - Cycle C
Dear Families,
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus teaches us by creating images we can picture in our minds. A blind person cannot lead the blind, a rotten fruit tree cannot produce fruit, and how can you see a speck in your brother’s eyes if you have a beam in your own eye.
Jesus is saying that when a person hears his words, they will understand his teachings. When we go to Mass, study Sacred Scriptures, and pray, our hearts will be opened to apply his teachings to others. To lead the blind, bear good fruits, and be forgiving, we need to seek training in the ways of Christ and his Church. Being a disciple of Jesus means that we show our love for God in what we say and do.
As a family watch video in its entirety than ask each other these questions.
What does it mean to be a good disciple? How do we need to learn? How are we to act?
Family Prayer: Lord, open our eyes to see what you want us to learn, and open our ears to hear your teachings. Amen.

11/24/24 - The Good King - Cycle B
Dear Families,
In this week’s Gospel of John, we listen to Jesus’ trial before Pontious Pilate. When Pilate asks him “Are you a King?” Jesus responds that his kingdom is not of this world and that he has come into the world to testify to the truth.
This Sunday is the Solemnity of Christ the King of the Universe. The start of the last week in the Church’s liturgical calendar. We learn that Jesus is King of the universe, but he doesn’t demand anything except our love and obedience to the commandments. Jesus has authority over everything, but he humbles himself to serve us and even to die for us.
He teaches us to be servant leaders and rule with love. When leaders rule with love, they build the kingdom of God.
As a family watch video in its entirety and then ask each other these questions.
How is God’s kingdom different from a kingdom on earth? What kind of leader or king is Jesus?
Family Prayer: Jesus, you are a good and loving king. Help us to follow your will and trust that it is always for our good. Amen.
