Dear Families,
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus calms the storm surrounding the Apostles. Jesus also calms the storms in our lives.
Jesus reminds us that we must trust in him even when things look scary, because he is always in control.
As a family, watch video in its entirety and then ask each other this question.
In what area of your life do you need to trust Jesus more?
Family Prayer: Lord, we all experience storms in life. Help us to trust you even when life seems difficult. Amen

Dear Families,
This Sunday’s Gospel is often misunderstood. Jesus is not saying the woman is a dog. He is trying to explain that she is not a person who was raised in faith
and yet she shows great faith. To some, she was invisible. The woman is persistent and faithful, two things we are reminded to be.
As a family, watch video in its entirety and then ask each other this question.
Who is invisible to you? Who do you ignore? Why do you choose to do this?
Family Prayer: Jesus, sometimes it can feel as though you cannot hear us. Help us to keep asking for help and to be patient,
waiting with trust, knowing you will answer our prayers at the right time. Amen

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

Dear Families,
No one knows when Jesus will come back, but we know we will see him face-to-face someday. As we eagerly await Christmas and the celebration of Jesus’ birth, we remember that we should always be waiting for Jesus.
As a family watch video in its entirety then ask each other this question. When you are waiting for someone, how do you fill the time?
Family Prayer: Jesus, help us to pay attention to your words and teachings.
Help us to follow you always. Amen
