Hello families,
The classes are talking about different saints and preparing presentations for later this month. If you are new to our parish or know a student who should be in our program, please contact the Faith Formation office. Our sacramental programs require a two-year commitment.
Take Time to Chat: Do you think it was wrong for James and John to ask Jesus to do whatever they asked? Why or why not? In the Bible, a “cup” is a metaphor for what God has in store for someone. What do you think Jesus meant when he told James and John that they will drink the cup that he will drink? Jesus is asking leaders to be in the service of their people. In what way is this statement opposite of how people normally behave? Why have Christians been persecuted in every age of history?
Liturgy Link: In today’s Gospel, Jesus talks about drinking from a cup. At what point at Mass does the priest first drink from the cup?
Family Challenge: Challenge your family members to try to outdo one another in service and random acts of kindness this week.
Family Prayer: Family Rosary – The month of October is the Month of the Rosary. Pray the rosary as a family, reflecting on the Glorious Mysteries.
Family Fun: The apostles James and John were competitive and wanted to be considered the greatest of the disciples. Create a spirit of friendly competition by playing some family games. Parents can pick one game and the kids can pick another. Consider an outdoor game, a card game, or a board game. Hit a discount or dollar store to get fun prizes for winners and losers. https://staging.52sundays.com/sundays/sunday-october-20-2024
