Make a House
Inspired by today’s Gospel, build a house with “many dwelling places.” Get creative using Legos, Playdoh, marshmallows and toothpicks, or other materials you have at home. Work together to build one home or have each person create their own and share what they made.
Family Rosary
In the month of May, we remember Mary, the Mother of God, in a special way. A beautiful way to honor Mary is to pray a rosary. For a refresher on how to pray the rosary, visit https://rosarycenter.org/how-t... for a simple introduction to the rosary. Check out https://catholicathome.com/how... for ways to engage children in praying the rosary.
When Jesus begins a phrase with “Amen, amen, I say to you,” it means, “pay attention, this is important!” The word “amen” by itself means “so be it” or “I believe”. Count how many times you say the word “amen” at Mass today.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus says, “whoever believes in me will do the works
that I do.” Brainstorm ways your family can do the works of Jesus this week.
