Visit a Petting Zoo or a Farm
Jesus knows his sheep, and his sheep know him. Take some time today to get to know some animals by visiting a petting zoo or a local farm. Don’t have any nearby? Consider visiting a relative with some animals, an animal shelter, or a pet store.
Good, Good Father
Listen as a family to the song, Good, Good Father, by Chris Tomlin. You should be able to find the song on YouTube or where you stream music. Sing along with the chorus. Share what moved you about the song.
What is the design on your parish’s tabernacle? What is kept inside?
Jesus tells us that he is the “gate” (or the way) to eternal life. Every
time you see a gate this week, thank Jesus for something good that happened
that day.
