Catholic Mom contributor Jake Frost reflects on what will truly transform our kids' lives in the era of AI. There’s been a lot in the news about how AI will transform the lives of our children. When I see things like that, I can’t help but think: Nothing will transform the lives of our kids like their parents. No screen, app, or artificial anything compares to the real impact of parents caring, praying, working, and loving their children 24/7 — and leading their children to Jesus Christ, Who will transform their lives like nothing else can. Helping our kids come to know and love Jesus, giving them the treasure of great price that surpasses all else in value, and introducing them to the best and only friend they’ll ever have or need is the greatest thing anyone can do for our children. And they won’t get that from any chatbot. No large language model will lead them to The Word.

For far too long, the terms "Christian media" and "children’s shows" were synonymous with "cheesy" and "fluffy." But that’s not necessarily the case anymore, especially on the Catholic platform called Formed. There seems to be a deep-seated desire to bring beauty, truth, and goodness back into art, especially in filmmaking. Formed — a streaming service created by practicing Catholics — has aimed to rebrand the landscape of Christian programming by curating a collection of top-notch content.

I hear a lot from families about how they struggle with getting their kids to Mass. If this is you or someone you know, I want to share with you what has worked for my family over the past decade of attending Mass with many little kids. Commit to Weekly Mass Attendance The big key to regular Mass attendance with kids (or without, honestly) is making the commitment. I grew up with only one Catholic parent, my late dad, and I was so blessed to have a wonderfully devout father who made Mass attendance the center of our week. Whenever we made weekend plans, the first question we always addressed was where and when we would attend Mass.

As Catholic mothers, we have a great responsibility to raise our children in the faith and to help them grow closer to God. One of the most important ways we can do this is by taking them to Mass every Sunday, even when it seems pointless or difficult. Do you feel discouraged or frustrated by the challenging of bringing children to Mass?
