RENEWED: SECTION 2.2

Family Time:

Today we will continue learning about God’s plan to save us from sin. God gave Moses the Ten Commandments to help us live holy lives. As a family, take out a sheet of paper and write down as many of the Ten Commandments that you can remember. Refer to page 54 to check your list when you are done writing them down. 

Opening Prayer:

(Together, make the sign of the Cross)

In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Parent: O Jesus in the Eucharist, King filled with compassion,

Everyone: Come, reign in me and in my family. 

Parent: O Jesus in the Eucharist, King of infinite mercy, 

Everyone: Come, reign in me and in my family. 

Parent: O Jesus in the Eucharist, King who is all truth and beauty, 

Everyone: Come, reign in me and in my family. 

Parent: Mary, Mother of God, St. Joseph, protector of the Holy Family, 

Everyone: Help us to love Jesus and to commit ourselves completely to Him. 

Parent: O Jesus in the Eucharist, Prince of Peace,

Everyone: Come, reign in us! AMEN!

Discussion Questions:

(Make sure to go around the room so everyone can share their answer).

1. How do the Ten Commandments help us today? 
2. Why did God send the prophets? 
3. Why do you think God included all people in the New Covenant? 

Activity:

As a family, complete the “Ten Commandments Match” Activity on page 62. 

Closing Prayer:

Close in prayer by reading the list of Ten Commandments (page 54) out loud then have everyone read together on page 63.

(Remember to do the Sign of the Cross before beginning to read the prayer and then again at the end). 

End the gathering by offering a sign of peace (and a hug) to one another.
