Sacrament of Charity (3)

Dear believer, dear family, dear team. Every week we will offer you a new formation package built around a video because we are convinced that balanced formation is the key to a balanced and joyful lifestyle, both for the family and the parish. This will bear the fruit so much needed in the life of the parish and the Church and the whole world. Below steps can help you to reach this beautiful goal.

Read the Gospel of the Day

Make the sign of the Cross. After a short opening prayer, turn to the Gospel reading of the day and give everyone the opportunity to share their thoughts on this reading. Click here for the Gospel reading of the day.  

Pray 2 decades for your intentions

Let us pray for guidance for the Church, for families, for the faithful and for vocations, in every different form. 

Contemplate a few questions regarding your spiritual life 

• Most Holy Family, please give us the grace to love God to such a degree that we are ready to lose everything rather than offend Him through venial sins.

• Most Holy Family help us to show our love for God by the way we speak, think, and act.

• Do I understand that fulfilling my daily duties with joyful fidelity is the best way of showing my love for God?

• Do I realize that part of my daily duty is to reach outside my family to evangelize others?

• Do I transform my daily crosses into moments of growth in grace by accepting them joyfully?

Watch the formation video

Please scroll to the top of this page for the video, which lasts 10 to 15 minutes. Please note you can watch this video full screen. Make sure your largest computer screen is placed where all can see.
