A Month of Thanksgiving

This week we conclude our series on rethinking our notion of giving thanks with a terrific back-to-basics video from Beyond the Pew, an online parent ministry aimed to equip parents with ways to hand on the faith to their children. It's got a ton of amazing videos, a FB community, and more. 

What a beautiful gift we have that Jesus loves us so much that he can't bear to be apart from us, that he humbles himself to dwell among us under the appearance of bread and wine so that he can strengthen us and nourish us, so that he can abide with us.

The most important thing we can do for our families and for our children, in order to help them enter into the sacrament, is to show them what it really is to encounter Christ in the Eucharist. We need to tell them about our own encounters with Jesus in the sacrament because if we’re not showing them Christ’s true presence in the Eucharist by our own witness, how can they know that for themselves? 

Life in the Eucharist

Today's video from Beyond the Pew spends a little bit of time focusing on the Eucharist, which is probably the sacrament that we have the most access to.

We can receive it daily if we would like, but sometimes the Eucharist is the sacrament we take the most for granted.
