Opening Prayer
Together:
+ O God, to fall in love with You is the greatest romance, to seek You, the greatest adventure, to find You, the greatest human achievement. Loving Father teach us to love You with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all our strength. (Memorize this)*
Hail Mary…
Come Holy Spirit, help us to discover the treasure of delighting in our relationships within our family! +Amen
*When Jesus was a boy, St Joseph taught Him to memorize and pray always “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart…” which is the first and Greatest Commandment for us to obey! -Mt 22:38 The more that you love God, the happier you will be!
The kids and I loved the buried treasure video….it brought tears to my eyes. It also brought great joy to recall my proposal to my wife and to share that experience with the kids. They enjoyed hearing about it…my 8 year old said, “I wish I could have been there.”
Awesome! We just did that guide too. My older kids remembered our proposal story, though I filled in more detail. Maria added details from her perspective that I never knew! Funny how that happens 30 yrs later. The younger kids hadn’t heard the story. So, it was really cool to share it with them.
