Week of December 26th, 2021
Sunday after Christmas Day
Scripture for Reflection: John 1: 19-34
Questions for Journaling and Reflection:
Take time to write down your answers or to create something that represents what you are pondering around each of these questions this week.
How was your celebration of Christmas focused on Christ?
What are some of the fears you have about sharing the love of Christ with the world?
How are you like John, a voice crying out for the Lord?
How does your life point to the greatness of Christ?
Spiritual Practices for this week
Adapted from Traci Smith’s Faithful Families: For Advent and Christmas. Saint Louis: Chalice Press, 2020.
Challenge your family to do something special together for each of the twelve days of the Christmas season.
Chalk your door. To chalk a door simply write the first two numbers of the year and the the letters C, M, and B. At the end write the last two letters of the year.
20+C+M+B+21
The letters represent the traditional names of the three magi who visited Jesus, but they are also the first three letters of the phrase Christus mansion benedicat, “May God bless this house”
Get a box or jar and fill it with memories from the year. Then on the next New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day take time to share these memories with one another.
Write a thank you note to someone who shared the love of Christ with you this year.
