SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER
BEFORE MASS
Take 30 seconds: Recall a time when you knew, without a doubt, that Jesus was with you.
Scripture Readings: Acts 2:14,22-23; Psalm 16:1-2,5,7-11; 1 Peter 1:17-21; Luke 24:13-35
Family Perspective: The eyes of the men on the road to Emmaus were opened when Jesus broke the bread and shared a meal with them. Our own eyes are opened to belief in the risen Jesus through our experience of Eucharist in our families. Whenever we share our faith through loving family actions, we recognize that Jesus is truly with us.
AFTER MASS
Chat:
Adults/Youth/Children: In what ways can you help others to “see” that Jesus is with them?
Family Response: Enjoy some fresh baked bread with a meal. You can make it yourself, allowing each family member to share in mixing and kneading, or you can purchase some fresh bread from a local bakery or store. As you share the bread around the family table, talk about how each person helps family members to “see” Jesus Christ.
Pray: Risen Jesus, we know that you are alive and dwell within us through the loving actions that we share with one another. Amen.
