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

To be hospitable simply means to make each other feel welcome. When you feel welcome, you feel loved and at home.
Talk about a time when you felt really welcome and at home.
When is it difficult for you to be hospitable towards someone else?
Activity
Design a placemat for everyone in your home. Set the table for dinner and place each person’s placemat at their spot at the table. You can even take turns giving each other compliments at the table.
During this isolation period we need to think creatively about being hospitable towards each other. Think of a few things that you can do in this time to be hospitable. Here are some examples:
Phone someone you know who is 70 years old or older and ask them how they are.
Put some non-perishable products together and leave it for the garbage collectors with a thank-you note.
