Dear Families,
\nTake Time to Chat<\/strong> – Within a week of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, the crowds turned against him. How do you think Jesus felt? Share a time when you’ve had a friend turn against you. This coming week is called Holy Week. Why is this the most significant week of the whole year? What does it mean to do something “in the name of the Lord”?<\/p>\n

Family Fun<\/strong> – Stations of the Cross
\nDesign and create your own Stations of the Cross in preparation for Holy Week. You can post them around your house or outside. Have family members draw different stations or print off coloring pages of them for everyone to color. Pray a few stations or all of them throughout the week.
\nPray the stations using this guide: https:\/\/www.usccb.org\/resources\/Stations-of-the-Cross-for-Vocations.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

Fun Fact<\/strong> – The palm branches blessed at Mass today are taken home and often displayed. Next year, parishes will collect them before Ash Wednesday to be burned to make the ashes we receive.<\/p>\n

Family Prayer<\/strong> – Litany of the Way: Prayer for the Journey<\/strong>
\nAs we enter into Holy Week remembering Jesus’ journey to the cross, we can see that everything he did revealed God’s unending love for us. Pray this litany together, reflecting on some of those instances from Scripture.<\/em><\/p>\n

As Jesus sought the quiet of the desert, teach us to pray.
\nAs Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, teach us to love.
\nAs Jesus promised paradise to the thief on the cross, teach us to hope.
\nAs Jesus called Peter to walk to him across the water, teach us to believe.
\nAs the child Jesus sat among the elders in the temple, teach us to seek answers.
\nAs Jesus in the garden opened his mind and heart to God’s will, teach us to listen.
\nAs Jesus reflected on the Law and the prophets, teach us to learn.
\nAs Jesus used parables to reveal the mysteries of the Kingdom, teach us to teach.
