First Thoughts: The Gospel Of The Sunday

About First Thoughts: The Gospel Of The Sunday

A married couple, and parents to 4 children, share their first (& maybe second & third) thoughts on the upcoming Sunday's Gospel, based on the Catholic Church's liturgical year. This conversation isn't preaching, it's just an exploration of our first thoughts, while we talk through the messages that come to us and how we can share them with our family and within our parish ministry. We wanted to share this conversation to accompany the Children's Church resources we produce and for anyone, parents, Catechists & Children's Liturgy leaders who may find this helpful. Thanks for listening.

   15th Sunday in Ordinary time (A)

   Welcome to our first episode of first thoughts. Where we (husband and wife and parents to four kids, who happen to be an RE teacher and Catholic Youth worker come parish administrator) discuss our first thoughts on the upcoming Sundays Gospel reading..this week it's the parable of the sower. This is not preaching..just us having a chat as we explore the messages that come to us as we reflect and pray, in preparation for creating the children's church resources which go out to our parish and other parishes through the diocese. This week we talk about - how wonderful it would be to sit and listen to Jesus at the beach - producing at different rates - what the rocks and weeds could be - the invitation to intentionally and prayerfully listen to Jesus!
