We Gather to Pray: Living the Joy of the Gospel
A few months ago, Pope Francis addressed Christians with a new document on the joy of the Gospel. As we celebrate this glorious season of Easter, there is no finer time to take his message to heart. Today’s prayer service is based on two key passages of Evangelii gaudium. It also includes private reflection and shared prayer.
Myrrh-Bearing Women
It is hard to imagine what the state of catechetical ministry would be without today’s reincarnation of the myrrh-bearing women. In your vocation, you help to overturn the banishment of the children of Eve and offer the soothing ointment of the Gospel.
A Family Together: A Lenten Crossword
During Lent, Catholics and other Christians reflect on
the last weeks of Jesus’ life on earth. We look at our
own lives and make efforts to follow Jesus’ example
even more closely.
Celebrating Saint Colette
Colette was born in 1381; she lived in France. Her parents named her Nicolette after St. Nicholas, who is the patron saint of children. Colette’s parents shared their faith in God with her. Even as a child, Colette was a person of prayer.
Meeting at the Well
As catechists, we come up short if all we transmit to our students is the content of the Catechism. We need also to convey gospel attitudes.
People of the Way
During Lent, we liturgically relive the passion and death of Christ. We know that his lifesaving death blazed a pathway into the reign of God for all of us.
Celebrating Saint Jerome Emiliani
Father Jerome Emiliani trusted God when times were difficult. He urged others to trust God, too. He did whatever he could to help those in need.
A Family Together: During Lent, During Easter
Each season of the Church Year has its own meaning, mood,
and message. In this activity, you will discover how or why we
celebrate the seasons of Lent and Easter.
