Hello Families!<\/p>\n
In family life, we try to prepare ourselves for many future things: our next vacation, our children\u2019s education, our retirement. We are careful not to allow ourselves to be caught by surprise so that we can handle any challenges our family may face. Today\u2019s Gospel reminds us that we are called to be just as attentive and alert to the coming of the Son of Man so that it will not catch us unprepared. This means attending to our family\u2019s spiritual life as carefully as we attend to other important family matters.<\/p>\n
As you gather as a family, talk about a time when you received surprise visitors at your house, perhaps a neighbor who stopped by or a relative who arrived unannounced. Was your household prepared to receive this unannounced guest? What might your family have done differently if you knew ahead of time that this visitor was going to arrive? Jesus told his disciples that no one knows when the Son of Man will return, except the Father. Read with your family what Jesus told his disciples in today\u2019s Gospel, Mark 13:33-37.<\/p>\n
