Observe the day by enjoying cupcakes together or prepare an international meal to represent the many cultural groups that were gathered together in the first reading you will hear at Mass this weekend.

The Gospel for Pentecost ends with a focus on forgiveness, so in this edition, we talk about forgiveness and the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Dinner Conversation from the Sunday Scriptures:

Within the second reading on Trinity Sunday (6/4) , we will hear the words: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you." Where have we heard that phrase before? What do we say in return when we hear that phrase? See if you kids can recognize that phrase and then share what it means. If we have the grace of Jesus, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit with us, what does that look like in our lives? Have you seen God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, the Holy Trinity, at work in your lives this week? What is the image of the Trinity you imagine when you are praying?

• Does God always know when I do something wrong?
• How come human beings make mistakes so easily?
  
• What mistakes do I keep making over and over? How can I stop that?
• When I make mistakes and say sorry, do I feel sorry? What does it feel like to be sorry for something?
