Knowing, Living and Sharing Our Faith
The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
Thank You Note
Family Connection
In our age of fast food and eating on the go, families often find that they are not eating
meals together at a dinner table. As a family, look back over the past week and recall
how many meals were eaten together and how many meals were eaten alone or on
the run.
Read this Sunday's Gospel, Luke 9:11b-17. Talk about the kinds of hungers that people
have in addition to physical hunger. Describe the hungers that a family nourishes
(love, compassion, forgiveness, laughter, and so on). Together give thanks for the
food that Jesus gives us that we celebrate on this Sunday's feast of the Body and
Blood of Jesus. Make a commitment to share in this Eucharistic meal together as a
family.
