Hello families,
Time to Chat: Imagine you are the man in today’s Gospel story. Close your eyes and imagine Jesus looking at you with love and stay in his gaze for a few moments. Share your experience. Jesus says that it is hard for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God. Sometimes, those whose earthly needs are satisfied become comfortable and self-reliant. Why is this an obstacle to entering the kingdom? The Rich Man was asked to give up his possessions. What are you willing to give up in order to focus more on God?
Liturgy Link – Altar servers assist the priest during Mass. What are some things they do?
Family Challenge – This week clean out your closets and garage and donate gently used items to good will.
Family Prayer – Litany of Trust- Pray this prayer as a family to increase your trust in the words of today’s Gospel.
Family Fun – In today’s Gospel, Jesus asked the Rich Man to give up his possessions. Consider giving up technology for the evening and spending time doing a jigsaw puzzle together as a family.
Fun Facts – Some claim that Jerusalem’s city wall had a narrow gate known as the “eye of the needle.” The size of the gate made it impossible for a fully loaded camel to pass through it. The animal would have to be fully unloaded or walk on its knees, in a vulnerable position, in order to get through the opening.
