Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception

Becoming Eucharist

Mealtime Table Talk for Families


Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple area and to breaking bread in their homes. They ate their meals with exultation and sincerity of heart, praising God and enjoying favor with all the people. –Acts of the Apostles 2:46-47a

Bring your bible and this print and fold-able ‘table tent’ (or your electronic device) to your dinner table with your family to discuss Sunday’s Gospel and how you can be the Body of Christ in the world.

Prayer before meals

Bless us, O Lord,
and these thy gifts which
we are about to receive from thy bounty,
through Christ, Our Lord.
Amen.

Eat the meal together. Have each family member respond to the following questions:

Where have I given kindness this week?
Where have I received kindness this week?

Together Read and Reflect on Sunday’s Gospel

December 8, 2020, Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception: Luke 1:26-38

Feel free to use your family bible or children’s bible. Be creative. Read it in parts. Act out the story.

  • How do you think Mary felt about Gabriel’s announcement?
  • What was Mary’s answer to Gabriel?
  • How do you feel when someone asks you to do something that is difficult or seems impossible?
  • What gives you strength and courage to do things you don’t want to do?

Family Action Step

Go out into the world to be the Body of Christ. Choose an action for your family this week that brings Christ to others. Maybe it is an action inspired by your Gospel reflection.

Prayer after Meals

We give you thanks
for all your gifts,
almighty God,
living and reigning
now and for ever.
Amen.
