When Jesus appeared to the disciples, he "opened their minds to understand the Scriptures." It was through his words and actions that the disciples came to know the truth about his life, passion, death, and resurrection.
Through the words and actions of our families, we and our children come to know Jesus. We grow in our understanding of who Jesus is and our relationship with him within the presence and actions of our families.

Faith Response: Share a prayer of forgiveness. Light a candle. Invite each person to say "I'm sorry" for something they did or didn't do this week, then have everyone say "I forgive you." Pray the Our Father together and end with a family hug.
