23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time - The Cost of Discipleship

9/1/2016

0 Comments

 
Reflect on the cost of discipleship in this weekend's gospel.
​Choose one of the following activities as a way to further reflect on the Sunday readings as a family:
  • Together as a family, talk about the crosses you and your family have been asked to carry. (Examples: sickness, financial concerns, issues at school, etc.) On a cross cut from construction paper, write which cross you, as a family will help each other carry this week.
  • Plan a time of family prayer. Each family member should reflect on a time when he or she has known the presence and wisdom of God in his or her life. Gather around a lighted candle and invite each person to share his or her story. After each story everyone prays, Oh God, we give you praise.
  • Together evaluate the relationships of the family members. Do we treat each other as a true brother or sister in Christ? How can we improve our relationships with each other? Have your family give concrete examples of how they can–and will–improve.
  • Discuss with your family what it means to live as a disciple in the world today. What are the risks involved? Remind the family that your love and support of each other should help you follow Christ in difficult times.
