Bingo
Have each family member create a 5x5 bingo board (either print one out or just draw it on a regular piece of paper). In a random pattern, fill the squares with numbers, letters, words, or pictures. If using words or pictures, you may want to choose a theme such as football. Whatever answers are on the board, write them on a slip of paper and put them in a bowl. Have one person pick a slip of paper and call out the answer. Participants cover the square that was called if it is on their board. The first person to get 5 squares covered across, down, or on the diagonal wins! Consider having small prizes for the winner or let them be the one to call the answers next.
Adapted Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.
And do you, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God
thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.
OUR FATHER…
HAIL MARY…
GLORY BE…
In your Name Lord Jesus Christ,
we pray that you would cover us,
our work to Unleash the Gospel in the Archdiocese of Detroit,
our families, and all our possessions,
with your love and your Most Precious Blood
and surround us with your heavenly angels,
saints and the mantle of Our Blessed Mother.
For you live and reign for ever and ever.
Amen.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus taught in the synagogue. In what way do we hear Jesus’ teaching at Mass?
As a
family, pick a day to fast or give up something you enjoy for the spiritual
benefit of another person (i.e. for an increase in faith, for healing of an
illness, etc.).
Synagogue is a Greek word that literally means a gathering of people. In the time of Jesus, a synagogue was a place where Jews gathered, worshiped, prayed, and learned. In the Jewish religion, the sabbath was observed on Saturday. However, Christians worship on Sunday because Jesus rose from the dead on a Sunday.
