Prayer 

Lord, bless our family, all of us now together, those far away, all who are gone back to you. May we know joy. May we bear our sorrows in patience. Let love guide our understanding of each other. Let us be grateful to each other. We have all made each other what we are. O Family of Jesus, watch over our family.

Amen.

Did Jesus jump rope?
Mid-month we begin a new year of Ordinary Time and the Sunday Gospels return to stories of Jesus' public ministry. This sudden shift from the miraculous birth of Jesus at Christmas to his adult life can puzzle kids. Fortunately, the month of January is actually dedicated to the Holy Childhood of Jesus. Though no one can say for sure whether or not Jesus jumped rope as a youth, TCK's January activities will get kids thinking about what everyday life might have been like in the Holy Family.
