Household / Family Discussion: 

With the COVID-19 pandemic, this past year has been a time of anxiety and suffering for arguably most people in the world.  The unknown can be terrifying, particularly when for a time we as Catholics, could not fully participate in Holy Mass.  Yet God was with us through it all offering His grace.  Your family should talk about the moments of grace you experienced over the last year, even though it was a time of many unknowns.  With so many of us spending more time in our homes, what did you learn about the members of your household or yourself?     

Household / Family Active:  

Encourage each family member to begin a Prayer Journal.  Record times of dis-ease, and times of joy.  Periodically go back to older entries and remember how God offered good to come from the darkest times.  Remember the moments of joy and God's grace for hope and comfort for the future in this world and the eternal.
 

Discusión de la familia:

Pueden juntarse con su familia, reunirse en un ambiente familiar para cenar o simplemente una reunión y discutir cómo esta pandemia los ha afectado, y como sobresalieron a los problemas que trajo consigo. Discuta, ¿Cómo la gracia de Dios los ayudó a superarlo?

 Actividad de la familia:

Podrían comenzar un diario y registrar los momentos en que las cosas fueron tormentosas y cómo Dios los ayudó a través de esos tiempos difíciles, tal como leemos en el evangelio de hoy.
