In Sunday's Gospel, John the Baptist tells people that God's coming is near and urges them to prepare.  He baptizes those who repent of their sins and resolve to turn their hearts to God.

Watch the video below and discuss the questions as a family.
Who is it that comes to prepare the way for Jesus?  (John the Baptist) *
What is it that John does?  How is this different than what Jesus will do?  (John baptizes those that repent with water, however when Jesus comes he will baptizes those with the Holy Spirit) *
How does this Gospel remind us to prepare during Advent?  (In the Gospel, sinners were cautioned to repent and to be baptized by John to prepare for the one that would come that would baptize us with the Holy Spirit.  During Advent, we too are preparing (our hearts, minds, houses, etc) to receive Jesus at his Nativity on Christmas, but also in his Second Coming.  We should always be preparing and repenting to be ready for the day Jesus comes again in glory.) *
This week's Eucharistic Reflection talks about changing the substance of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus.  As Catholics, we believe that Jesus is truly with us in the Eucharist - Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.  When you are at Mass this week, pay special attention to the prayers Fr. Bill says at the consecration.  If Deacon Bruce is at Mass, listen for when the bells are rung.  When the bells are rung, the Holy Spirit is being called upon to transform the bread and wine into the Body and Blood.  Listen to the words Father says.  Do you remember the words that were used when Father called upon the Holy Spirit?  Talk about these prayers with your family.  Try to make sure to listen carefully for these prayers each time you are at Mass, and know that something beautiful is happening. *
