Weekly Reflection Questions - For Families with Kids

1. Did you know that today is the First Sunday of Advent, AND the very first day of our new liturgical year? 

2. Who wrote the gospel story we heard today? (Mark: at the start of a new liturgical year the gospel changes; we switched from hearing the Gospel of Matthew in year A to hearing the Gospel of Mark in year B).   

3. What is Jesus telling his disciples in today’s gospel? (Always be ready to meet the Lord for you do not know when he will come again!) 

4. Jesus says the Master leaves the servants in charge, each with their own work to do. What work do you think Jesus is asking you to do?
