Fantastic Faith Nov. 7th

Today we discussed the Gospel for the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome.  The children listened to a simplified version of the Gospel from Luke 19:1-10.

Objective: Jesus gathers us to pray.

Symbol: church

To Reinforce at home:

Today we talked about two things. We reviewed some of the early history of the church. The building of St John Lateran in Rome by Emperor Constantine marked the end of persecution for Christians. 

We reminded the children that we are all temples for Jesus, that he lives in our hearts.   When Jesus comes into our hearts, we are changed – just as when the Lateran Basilica was built, the world was changed.

Activities to do at home:

*Find a picture of the Lateran Basilica in Rome.  Together with your child, write a prayer for the Pope and all Catholics in the world.

*Your child is a living temple of Jesus.  Together with your child think of ways that you can show others that you have Jesus in your heart.
