Nature Bingo
Jesus indicates that we will experience some turmoil and division because of our belief in him. This adds to the many stresses of life. Experiencing nature is a great way to destress.
Download and print nature bingo cards from https://www.massaudubon.org/places-to-explore/activities/family-fun/nature-play/nature-bingo-scavenger-hunts or a similar website. Alternatively, make cards with different nature items you may see on a walk. List all the items but make sure that each card has the items in a different box. Then go to a park or nature trail and start searching for the items on your card. When you hear a noise or see the item on your bingo board, mark it off with a pen or highlighter. The first person to get a bingo wins!
Guardian Angel Prayer
Our Guardian Angels serve as our protectors and guides. Our Angel is a warrior, a strong and courageous fighter, who ranks at our side in every battle of life and protects us when we are too fragile to do it alone. Pray this prayer to bring you peace before bedtime tonight.
Angel of God,
my guardian dear,
To whom God's love
commits me here,
Ever this day,
be at my side,
To light and guard,
Rule and guide.
Amen.
Jesus speaks of baptism in today's Gospel. Locate the baptismal font at your parish. How would you describe it to someone who has never been to your church?
