TAKE TIME TO CHAT
  • One of the teachings in today’s Gospel has to do with anger. Jesus is not saying that the emotion of anger is sinful. He is saying that anger is dangerous and to be careful! Why do you think we need to be careful when we are angry? How could anger get us into trouble?
  • Can anger ever be good?
  • Today’s Gospel also talks about swearing. Why is swearing bad?
ACTIVITY

Art-Themed Activity

  • Plan a trip to a local art museum or a local art gallery. See if there
    are any pieces attributed to the patron of Catholic artists, Fra Angelico.
    Encourage the kids to bring their colored pencils and a sketch pad, and
    encourage them to try to sketch at least one piece of art.
  • Get some families together and schedule a Family Painting with a Twist
    at a local paint venue or have your own family paint night at home using a YouTube video and your own art supplies.
  • Search the Internet for an image of Fra Angelico’s Annunciation. Enlarge
    the image so that everyone can see the details. Try to figure out the story that is being told in the painting.
PRAYER

Prayer for Help with Anger

Heavenly Father, sometimes we are troubled by thoughts and feelings of anger. You know that sometimes we say and do mean things because we’ve been hurt by others. Lord, please heal our hearts and give us your peace so that we can live like Jesus is calling us to live. We ask all this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

LITURGY LINK

Find a piece of art in church and study it. It can be a painting, sculpture, or stained-glass window. What is the story that is being conveyed through this work of art?

FAMILY CHALLENGE

Today’s Gospel teaches us about anger. Challenge each family member to

control anger or angry outbursts this week. Make an effort to talk about angry

feelings and find peaceful solutions to problems.
