Session 6: At Home This Week


Returning to Confession

As a parent, you may be reluctant to receive the sacrament of confession again after a long break, even though it would be an important example for your child.

In this very honest Busted Halo video, Annie Reuter talks about her return to confession at the World Youth Day event.

This video may be difficult for younger children to understand.

Reconciliation: Let's Celebrate

In this session, we focused on celebrating God's mercy and inviting Jesus into our lives.

Review the lesson with your child.  Look through the handouts with your child, asking what he or she remembers or has questions about.

Let us never lose hope! God loves us always, even with our mistakes and sins.

— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) February 22, 2014

Confessing our sins may be difficult for us, but it brings us peace. We are sinners, and we need God’s forgiveness.

— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) November 18, 2013

Preparing for Reconciliation

Invite Jesus into Your Home

Picture
At home this week, work with your child to help them think about how to make your home more welcoming for Jesus. Of course, Jesus does visit your house all the time!  Work with your child to answer these questions:

  • If you were to invite Jesus to visit your house, what things would you do to get ready for him?
  • What would you change in your house?
  • Can you and your family do those things now?
