Hello Families,
Our Faith Formation classes are underway. Along with our weekly lessons the children are learning about saints. This week they will begin a saint program that will soon be displayed in our Gathering Area at church.
TAKE TIME TO CHAT – The ten lepers cried out to Jesus to heal them, and he did. Do you think Jesus would have healed them if they hadn’t asked? Why or why not? Does Jesus still heal people today? In today’s Gospel, Jesus teaches us that it is important to be thankful to God. What is one thing you are thankful for today? Saint Carlo Acutis used his interest in computers to help others learn about the faith. How can you use technology to glorify God?
FAMILY PRAYER – Prayer for the Single Person- Some individuals are called to the vocation of the single life. They are not part of a religious community or married, but still use their gifts to serve God and others in a special way. Today, pray for those living this vocation and others who may be called to do so.
FAMILY FUN – Soccer- Just as Saint Carlo Acutis loved to play soccer and get some friends and family together for a match! Grab a soccer ball to play a game in the yard at the local park as a family or with some friends. If you don’t have enough people to play a game, you can still do relay races with the soccer ball, pass it back and forth, or watch a soccer game together.
FAMILY CHALLENGE – Like the leper who returned to thank Jesus, take time each day this week to thank God for the blessings of your day. Consider using bedtime as a time to review your day and count your blessings.
LITURGY LINK – Visit and explore the website of Eucharistic miracles that was developed by Saint Carlos Acutis: http://www.miracolieucaristici.org/
FUN FACT – The Church has recognized over one hundred Eucharistic miracles, many of which occurred during times of weakened faith in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
