Below are a series of online videos that I would like your child to watch. You will need to copy and paste the links into your web browser.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the remaining videos (there are 7 total)
- 2. Liturgy of the Eucharist
- 3. Holy communion
- 4. The True Presence
- 5. From the Bible: The last Supper
- 6. Jesus is With you
- 7. The Closing Prayer
The following Youtubes are a great resource for both parent and child...
After you view all the videos: Go on a walk with your child (this will both help to have some activity, but also make it easier to have a conversation instead of making this feel like it is teaching them). Talk to your child about the Eucharist and the Mass. Share with them your understandings and what you are still learning about the Mass and the Eucharist. Talk about the importance of going to Church in person or online regularly and how giving praise and worship to God is the most important thing that we can do. By showing God this act of love, He meets us in the Eucharist, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of His Son Jesus Christ and gives us the grace of communion with God by entering our body. With Jesus within us, we can go out and be like Jesus in how we love and help others. After sharing this, have your child share with you the ways that he/she can be like Jesus at home, at school, when playing with friends, etc.
Close with the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be
I will be in touch next week with specific instructions for your First Eucharist.
Many blessings to you as your share this beautiful preparation time together,
