Fun Catholic Sunday Gospel Reflection for May 2, 2021: John 15:1-8 "I am the vine, you are the branches. Whomever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit." John 15:5 Introduction Prayer: Novena to God's Love by Bo Sanchez

Have you ever heard stories of disobedience or rebellion? You can make a child obey but if they don't now the "Why" behind obedience, they may still fall astray later. We want them to obey NOT to make our lives comfortable or avoid embarrassment in front of other people. We want them to obey NOT because they would like to stay out of trouble. We want them to obey because of their loving relationship with God.

Do you like game shows? Our activity this week involved a couple of Bible flash cards (Bible Times Quiz and Bible Trivia) and we formatted the discussion like a game show! For our discussion, we reviewed the Gospel this week, emphasized why we need to study scripture and shared some ways that other Catholic Moms teach the Bible at home. Last but not the least - for this episode, we have a new Sound Byte for our Fun Facts Trivia! God bless you!

As the Host is raised, we silently pray St. Thomas' words "My Lord and My God." God's love is amazing that even when St. Thomas and the disciples doubted his resurrection, God believed in them. This Sunday is special for us as our son receives his First Holy Communion. We made this Gospel memorable by a Cool Object lesson that kinda simulates what happened to St. Thomas. The kids loved it so much they still kept on playing for a couple of hours with it after the recording. Click here to watch the video reaction of the kids and see what the object lesson looked like. P.S. It's been a year since we started and we'll have some new things to set up to serve you better. We'll be placing some updates on our Facebook page soon (fb.com/everydaycanbeasunday). God bless! =)

Happy Easter! In this episode, we'll show you an Unforgettable way to teach the Easter Message to your Kids that will leave some Oohs and Aaahs. And with this experience, they will be open to receive the important message of Easter. This is paramount for kids to understand in order to keep motivating them to go to mass. Thanks for listening and God bless! Here's the link to the Video.

It's Palm Sunday! Yay! The Jews honored Jesus by waving Palm leaves. There are many ways of honoring Jesus and one of them is by loving our family. We can honor our family through words that encourage and affirm them. This episode, we made palm crosses and did a "Circle of Honor" wherein we affirmed each member of our family and gave our Palm Cross to them afterwards. If you would like to learn how to do a Palm Cross, kindly check out our YouTube Video Channel Episode. Thanks for listening and God bless!

Today's Sunday Gospel Reading is from John 12:20-33. We talked about how getting closer to God is the most important thing we should aim for. For our activity, we demonstrated sacrificing and giving up of oneself by blowing up a balloon and letting it slide all the way to Jesus. Although the balloon gave up it's air, it did reach its goal of getting close to Jesus. To view the video, please feel free to check it out at our YouTube Channel. Thanks for listening and God bless!

Today's episode is different. It was difficult for the kids to comprehend the Gospel but they did remember the most important Bible verse which is John 3:16. It's different today because we did a special craft activity instead to remember this important verse which summarizes Jesus' message for us. Check out the video episode here.

Just as Jesus cleansed the temple, so must we clean our hearts to receive God this lent.

The Transfiguration is a sneak peek into Heaven. God the Father reveals that Jesus is His Beloved Son and we should listen to Him. We used Black light this week to reveal the invisible ink hidden message. Hope you enjoy this one and Thanks for listening! If you would like to watch the revelation in the activity, please click here . God bless! =)

Today is the First Sunday of Lent. This Gospel tells us the story when Jesus stayed in the desert for 40 days. So we decided to look into what Lent is all about. We have 2 activities, one which motivates us to continue giving to God (either offering or giving up as a sacrifice) and the other which helps the kids decide on what to give up or fill up during this season. Thanks for listening and God bless!

Jesus wants to heal us and make us whole ... before we even ask for it! Because He loves us. That healing ministry continues today through the power of the Holy Spirit within us. “ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39. To view the activity, please check out the YouTube episode here.

We can always count on Jesus to rescue us because He has the Power! He has power over unclean spirits, depression, anger, poverty, illness, nature and death! The materials we used this week include Baking Soda, Vinegar and a Vase or transparent container. To view the video, please click here . We hope you have a little bit of fun and a whole lotta Jesus! Thank you for listening and watching! God bless! =)

We did 2 Cool Object Lessons this Sunday! To watch the video version, click here . It's even much more fun if you try it out with your kids and watch their faces light up! Have a great rest of the week and God bless!

For this episode, we used povidone iodone and chlorox. The effect was pretty mind blowing to see! If you would like to watch it, feel free to click here . Thank you and God bless! =)

We've been away for awhile since we needed to find a way to re-engage George. And we've done so through video. He's more relaxed in this format. But we just found out we can save the audio of the video. If you would like to see the activity itself, please feel free to search us on YouTube. Just type in "Everday Can Be A Sunday" and you'll find our channel. May you and your family be blessed as we share our journey of faith with you.

This Sunday, Jesus summarizes the 10 Commandments into 2: Loving God and others. The Gospel reading reminds us of our call to love. But sometimes, this is hard to do. This week's activity reminds us that with the help of the Holy Spirit, we're given extra grace to fulfill our mission to love others. As mentioned in Romans 5:5, "And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." This week, we also read 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, which defines what love is. If you found this helpful, please share with others. God bless you and your families! #30thSundayinOrdinaryTime #LiturgicalCycleA #Kid'sActivity #LoveGodandOthers

This week we have a simple coin activity that anybody can easily do at home. The challenge is to get a quarter size coin through a penny size hole without forcing or tearing it. The coin activity ties in with this week's Gospel Reading from Matthew 22:15-21 (29th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Liturgical Cycle A). It's a timely reading in terms of the upcoming election. As part of society, we do pay taxes and support the Government because the Government helps keep law and order in the community. But when there are issues that potentially can affect morality, then as Catholics we need to make a stand. Sometimes, this is very hard to do ... but not impossible.

The Parable of the Wedding Feast is an allegory to going to Sunday Masses and receiving the Holy Eucharist. If someone important (like the Pope) invited us to go to a party, wouldn't we be excited to go? Every week, God invites us to celebrate the Mass and give Thanks to Him for sending His only Son to die for our sins. We give Thanks to Him for loving us so much. And when we seek His Kingdom first and give Him priority, everything else falls into place. And we can stand firm on His promise in Psalm 37:4, "Delight yourself also in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart."

We're always taught to trust God. But in this Parable, it shows about how God has also placed His trust in us, hoping that we would help build up his Kingdom. We had a fun object lesson activity that you can watch on our website: www.everydaycanbeasunday.com. We also changed the format for the Gospel and included this in the video with a voice over narration. Our daughter noted there were some "mean" parts in this parable, so get ready for some questions from your kids. Thank you and God bless!

To love God is to obey His commandments. This is a great parable to teach children about obedience. We have a cool object lesson that's also available on our website (www.everydaycanbeasunday.com) so you can follow along. We talked about the practical application at home/school when our parents/teachers ask us to do something Today, we also highlighted Ephesians 6:2-3, "Honor your father and mother - which is the first commandment with a promise - so it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth." God bless!

God is so generous and He loves everyone. He would like everyone to go to heaven - even at the very last minute.

We found a fun object lesson from Meaningful Mama and the kids enjoyed it! It serves as a STEM activity as well. For this Sunday's Gospel Reflection, Jesus wants us to forgive 70 times 7 (490 times). When we let anger and unforgiveness build inside us, it will eventually harm us. Check out our YouTube Recording on our website (www.everydaycanbeasunday.com) for the video of the activity. God bless. #24th Sunday in Ordinary Time, #Object lesson on forgiveness, #The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, #September 13, 2020 Mass

It's hard to forgive sometimes. But anger is like garbage you wouldn't want to carry around. (Personally, we learned about this the hard way.) This week, we have a couple of cool object lessons to teach the kids the value of receiving forgiveness through reconciliation and giving forgiveness. Most importantly, we talked about where to find the strength and grace to forgive even when we're still upset. More information here: www.everydaycanbeasunday.com. Warning, this is a very "giggly" podcast episode. (23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Liturgical Cycle A, September 6, 2020)

The activity for this week involved some jumping and walking like a chicken in our Following the Leader game! (Some cookies for a reward later also occurred.) =) We also introduced the important Bible quote from Ephesians 6:1-3, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 'Honor your father and mother' - which is the first commandment with a promise - 'so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on earth.'" Hmmm...we weren't too fond of this commandment when we were kids - but now as parents, we love it! =) More information here: www.everydaycanbeasunday.com. (22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Liturgical Cycle A, August 30, 2020).

And who do you say I am? It's a question that Jesus asked not just to His disciplies but to us as well. For us, Jesus is able to make a way when there seems to be no way. He is the God of the impossible. In today's activity, we taught the kids an object lesson to illustrate this point. Find out how to get your entire body pass through an ordinary piece of paper here: www.everydaycanbeasunday.com.

As Technology advances, our children are now used to having things quickly available. Thus when outcomes don't come out the way they would like, they might give up easily. This Sunday's Gospel teaches us the value of perseverance which is a virtue that is important not just for our faith but in life in general. In this episode, we've used some crumpled colored papers and threw them in the box. (Marshmallows are better but we didn't have enough. =)) We also added a cool interactive spinning wheel for alternative strategies kids can use instead of just quitting. Feel free to check it out at www.everydaycanbeasunday.com. God bless! =)

This Sunday, Jesus does some fancy footwork on the Sea of Galilee! We have an object lesson for you that hopefully would make a lasting impression on your kids! Check out the video at www.everydaycanbeasunday.com. If you liked this episode, please consider sharing with others. Thank you and God bless!

Aside from the events of Holy Week (the Resurrection in particular), the Miracle of feeding 5000 people is the only other miracle that is documented in all four Gospels! So it's kinda of a Big Deal! In these unprecedented times, how much do we trust Jesus that He will provide for all our needs? In whatever difficulty we have, how much do we trust Him that he has already provided a way out? Food for thought.

It's very interesting to hear what our kids thought heaven was like. It made us smile and it made us drop our jaws. For this week's activity, we happen to have some toy coins and kinetic sand so we did some "treasure digging" today. If you have more time, the activity on the household manual is great especially for older kids. God bless!

Today's Sunday reading has 3 Parables. We focused on the Parable of the yeast and did a fun activity using the Mentos and Diet Coke experiment. Then we read a good reflection of the 3 parables from the "In His Steps" journal. God bless.

For this Sunday's KFC Household activity, we used some teabags and water glasses. We also found this video on this parable that your kids might like, too. In the middle portion of this podcast, George and Gracie had a little ad lib. Gracie was eating some pretzels.

The Holy Trinity remains a mystery in our Faith. This week, on the KFC Household Manual, we went to a beach so the kids can get a visual as we relate the story of St. Augustine and the boy on the beach. The Gospel reminds us to be like little kids and approach God so that His grace will help us get to know him more.

This is a special Father's Day episode dedicated to all of our Beloved Dads out there. We're very grateful to Bro George T Gabriel for sharing his journey as a son and now as a father. Bro George is a former Worship Leader at the Feast and has worked closely with Bro Bo Sanchez. He was also former editor of the Fish magazine. May all who listen be blessed and inspired by his words. Please consider sharing this episode with others. God bless! =)

Grace was in a good mood today and was chatty here. =) Today, we watched the Superbook episode of Naaman and the servant girl to give an example about how being courageous in sharing about God can help others. We also did the KFC activity of saying "Yes" (George was quite honest here, Lol!) and we made a comparison about fire and fear and how God can put out any fire. (The Kids love blowing candles). We hope you have a wonderful Father's Day!

The kids put nutella on a pretzel and shared it with their Aunts. Just as Jesus shared His Body and Blood with us, we too are called to share with others. By the way, please pardon George's hiccups during this episode. =)

6th Sunday of Easter 2020 Cycle AWe did a Freeze Dance with the kids as a teaching tool to understand the relationship between following the Street Signs as a law and following God's Commandments. Thanks in advance for listening!
