St. Joseph Catholic School April 14, 2017 issue
Dear St. Joseph Families and Friends,
Easter is right around the corner. It is the time to rejoice
that God humbled Himself by sending His Son, Jesus. He
gave all of Himself – his Body and Blood; He suffered and
died; He rose from the dead on the third day, and He did
all this for us, for human beings that had consistently and
openly rejected Him. Yet He still loves us enough to
sacrifice Himself so that we may live.
Over Easter season, with all the focus on bunnies,
chocolate, and stuffed eggs, it is important to be conscious
of this Easter truth. Talk about the meaning of Easter with
your family. Discuss how Jesus washed the feet of the
disciples and offered His Body and Blood knowing full well
that one of them would betray him. Explain that Jesus
willingly suffered and died for us. Rejoice that Jesus rose
on the third day to open the gates of heaven so that we
may live. Celebrate all this with family and loved ones. Enjoy your Easter and return refreshed and ready to finish
the school year!
God Bless…
Mrs. Budd

“ In the Easter Gospel we hear about how the disciples found the tomb empty
three days after Jesus' death. We are also told that they do not yet understand
the Scriptures or that Jesus had been raised from the dead. That
understanding gradually unfolded for the disciples as they began to experience
the risen Lord. Similarly, our understanding of Jesus' Resurrection unfolds for
us throughout our lives. In the weeks ahead, we will hear how the first
disciples moved from confusion, doubt, and skepticism to faith. Their
experience can teach us how we too might receive this gift of faith from God.
Gather your family members and ask them to share what they know about the
events that happened in the days after Jesus' crucifixion. Invite your family to
imagine that they are among Jesus' first disciples. Read together today's
Gospel, John 20:1-9. Reflect together on the Gospel with questions such as
these: If you had been among the first disciples who heard that the stone had
been removed from Jesus' tomb and that Jesus' body was no longer there, what
would you think? What did Mary of Magdala, Simon Peter, and the disciple
whom Jesus loved think had happened? Recall that this experience is the first
indication Jesus' disciples have that he is risen. Throughout the Easter season,
we will learn more about how the disciples came to believe that Jesus had been
raised from the dead.
Pray together using today's psalm, Psalm 118: “This is the day the Lord has
made; let us rejoice and be glad.”
