What does it mean to be a disciple? What does it mean to show the love of Jesus? Where do we even start? Those big questions were a part of Deacon Allen’s mass message this morning. Here are a few of Deacon’s talking points to continue the conversation in your home: – A disciple is a person that spreads God’s word and shares the love of Jesus. – We are all disciples. – We are called to be models to others. It’s a big responsibility but is something that every Christian can do. – A disciple doesn’t have to travel to far away lands like the people in the Bible did to show God’s love. We can do it in our classrooms by being kind to our classmates, be a good friend on the playground, and be a help to our teachers.

Today’s mass readings talked about prayer. Specifically, they introduced the Lord’s Prayer and the idea that we are a Christian family under “our father.” Our elementary students have an active prayer life and shared their thoughts on prayer with us. .

Did you know we can communicate in other ways than just talking? Our actions, expressions, and words work together to tell people what we are thinking or feeling.
