Links to Engage your Family
Marriage Moment: "Love is always ready to make allowances, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes." (1 Corinthians 13:7) Cut your spouse a break today. This needn't depend of worthiness or being deserving. Be generous. You might be the beneficiary of some lenience later. However, remember love is not abusive. Seek help if need be.
Intergenerational/Whole Community/Family Faith Formation
Whole Community Catechesis is a vision of faith formation that is rooted in the documents of Vatican II, the General Direction for Catechesis, and other catechetical documents.
It promotes faith formation as an ongoing and lifelong process, that can be greatly supported by intergenerational learning and interaction.
Through developing opportunities for faith sharing, building households of faith, reflecting on why and how we gather, and promoting active service and outreach, all memebers of the community of faith are supported in their own faith formation and are invited to reclaim their personal and collective role in the formation of all other members of the community.

This Week's Connection
Doesn’t every parent want their children to act like Jesus—or at least know how they imagine Jesus was? After all, how many parents want their children to run away from home for three days at the age of twelve? But that is what he did. He became Jesus, the teenage runaway! Of course, even though we tell that story, it is not the most important thing that we re-member about him. We recall all that he did to help others and when we celebrate three days in Jesus’ existence, it is the three days of his saving death and life-giving resurrection. Could it not be the same in our own families? We all have moments that we remember about one another— significant events that characterize who someone is. It would be good if those times were the moments of grace in a person’s life, and that we recall the best of another member of the family.
