Wow! 21 Days of isolation. 21 Days in which we’re only allowed to be in our homes (or gardens) and can only go out for the most essential things like food and medicine. It can be a little rough! All the things we usually do during the day, like school, sport, church … are not happening anymore. It can really confuse you and maybe even bore you a little. These daily readings will help you to spend some time with Jesus every day in a creative and fun way. You can do these readings and activities by yourself, with your siblings, or with your entire family. Ask one of the grownups to post your activity on Facebook so that others can enjoy it with you. Tag it with #solitudecalendar #churchtogether

When someone makes us angry or hurts us, we sometimes want to do something to them to get back at them. As believers, Jesus asks us to act differently. We should always remind other people by the way we treat them that Jesus is in control of our lives. It will happen that people hurt you or make you angry, or maybe you will do it to someone else. How we react to this, must show that Jesus lives in us.
Why do you think Jesus does not want us to take revenge on people for what they did to us?
What can we do if someone makes us angry or hurts us?

Draw emojis on a piece of paper. Ask someone with a cellphone to show you examples of emojis. Draw a lot of different ones. When you are finished, cut each one out and put them in a jar. When someone makes you angry or hurts you in the next few days, search in your jar for the emoji that describes how you feel. Then search for a friendly or loving emoji that you can give to this person instead of getting them back for what they did to you.
