This week your child has learned more about the Mass. Jesus is the
Bread of Life. At Mass we are nourished with His Body
and Blood. This strengthens us to be fully alive in
Christ and enables us to bring God's justice and peace
to others. In this way we truly live the Eucharist we
have celebrated. Talk to your child about the fact that
receiving Holy Communion helps us to follow the way of
Jesus and grow in holiness.
Go in Peace
Together, make a chart of "peacemaker" ideas for your
family--for example: doing something extra for someone
who is tired. Remember peace begins first with each
individual and each family and then moves out to others.
You can also think of ways to extend peace to your
parish and school.
To Love and Serve
Knowing that we are to live what we have celebrated in the
Eucharist, discuss together and choose something you can
do as a family to love and serve God and others.
Participate as a family in a clothing drive, food
collection, or another service activity in your parish
or community. Setting a good example of loving and
serving others will be a powerful message to your child.
