Great story which explains the Spiritual Works of Mercy.
The seven corportal works of mercy told as a story: 1. feed the hungry, 2. give drink to the thirsty, 3. clothe the naked, 4. give shelter to travellers/homeless, 5. visit the sick, 6. visit the imprisoned, and 7. bury the dead.
If we deny who we are, we will stumble all the way to our own destruction.
By looking at just a few stories from the Old Testament, I convinced myself that the Eucharist is not a symbol but the actual body of Christ. Makes perfect sense to me. Here's why.
Why do we have to admit that we are broken? https://LiveLastingMemories.com https://EvangelizationOftheFamily.org
Why do we go to mass? We go to learn about who we are. Lector book mentioned in the podcast? https://a.co/d/drRQ5vl
We all remember how difficult we had it while we tried figuring out who we were. Our kids will or are already stuggling with that question. Here's one suggestion on how to get this point across: be yourself.
It can be difficult to keep the faith when you feel abandoned by God. But, if you know what's going on, it's way easier. St. John of the Cross calls it the Dark Night of the Soul. Father Chris Alar has more information on the Dark Night. https://youtu.be/__27ewWQz_E
Praying the rosary was horrifically boring until I learned to pray it.
Confronted with people that we disagree with, the temptation is to outcast rather than accept and love. Is it really possible to hate the sin but love the person who is committing that sin?

It's not difficult to correct our children when they are confused about what is a boy and what is a girl. Small corrections wins the day.
What is the meaning of Advent? What should we be doing during this? It's a penitential time so God is asking us to turn away from sin and turn back towards Him. Heavenly Father, please bless this little tree and let it us help us to prepare for the coming of your Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ. Let each ornament remind us that we are to increase our charity, increase our prayers and increase our love. May each light remind us that though we are many, each of us is called individually by you to be a light unto this world. As we gather round this tree, let it remind me to mend any brokenness in my family and forgive those things that may be keeping us apart. We pray for those who do not have a little tree in their home. We pray that we our open to give to them as abundantly as you, Lord God, have given to us. Amen.
