This week on Culture Tuesday, I reflected on the joyful, unpredictable, and grace-filled world of Children’s Liturgy. Blending storytelling, song, and real-life moments from parish life, the episode explored how music and imagination help children encounter the Gospel in ways that are both meaningful and memorable.I shared some of the creative ways we bring Scripture to life—through Godly Play, chants, and even a “Golden Box” full of symbols and surprises—and why these little moments matter. There was also a reminder from Bishop Patrick McKinney that will stay with me: Christ delights in the efforts parents make to bring their children to Mass, even on the most chaotic of Sundays.This wasn’t a typical episode—it was a bit more spontaneous, more personal—but perhaps that’s fitting. After all, when it comes to passing on the faith, it’s often in the unscripted moments that we meet Jesus most clearly.
