PRAYER

Help Us Follow You

Make the sign of the cross and invite each family member to pray spontaneously in their own words about what is on

their hearts. Close with this prayer:

Almighty God,

our hope and our strength,

without You we falter.

Help us to follow Christ

and to live according to Your will.

Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,

God, forever and ever. 

Amen.

LITURGY LINK

Today’s Gospel talks about following Jesus. During Mass, the cantor sings or speaks the Responsorial Psalm and asks us to follow. What is today’s response?

FAMILY CHALLENGE
From today’s Gospel, we can see that Jesus and his disciples faced many challenges as they traveled. However, they proceeded with fortitude to proclaim the kingdom of God. Fortitude is the virtue that gives courage to follow Jesus even when it is difficult. Practice the virtue of fortitude this week.
