    Subscribe to the Better Part podcast today! Gospel reflection for 3-6 year olds for the 5th Sunday of Lent, year C. Adults, the Gospel for this Sunday hardly seems fitting for 3-6 year olds! What is the face of God they need to see? I think it is the face of one who seeks us out and creates the space to be with us. I read an abbreviated passage to the child who does not need to hear about the potential violence, and let the Word of God speak through the reflection.

    Subscribe to the Better Part podcast today! Gospel reflection for 6-9 year olds for the 5th Sunday of Lent, year C. Adults, this is a difficult passage from the Gospels—for adults as well as children. In this reflection, I try to explain briefly why adultery is a sin, but focus mostly on the mercy of God—which is, I believe, the face of God the children need to see. If adultery has affected your family, please proceed carefully and gently with yourself and with your child. My prayers are with you.

    Subscribe to the Better Part podcast today! Gospel reflection for 3-6 year olds for the 4th Sunday of Lent, year C. The Gospel for this Sunday is the well-known parable of the Prodigal Son. We can call it, though, the parable of the Forgiving Father. The Good News is all about the father, is it not? For the 3-6 year olds, who are not yet at the age of reason, we focus solely on how good the Father is. He is someone we can love! The Gospel is long. You may wish to skip over it and begin with the reflection at 5:43.
