Behold the Cross: If we are going to be followers of Jesus, he tells us that each person must “take up his cross, and follow me”(Mt:16:24). The Stations of the Cross is an ancient meditation on Jesus' journey to the cross and eventually the tomb. Usually offered on Fridays(6:30pm) throughout Lent and especially on Good Friday(2:30), participating in the Stations as a family is a way to acknowledge our own crosses and is a reminder that Christ's suffering offers hope in the midst of daily struggles. Talk with your children about the crosses they might be carrying. Are they struggling with peer pressure? Our crosses are bearable because Jesus promises to help us carry them. After all, He reminds us, “my yoke is easy, and my burden light”(Mt 11:30).

Early Springtime Prayer: Gracious loving God, in this awaking springtime, we give you thanks...For the delight of sunny mornings, and tiny growing things, For the sights and sounds of new life, and the busyness of house cleaning, for the joy of being new again and the awe of celebrating grace, for the privilege to be your follower and share your life and love with all we meet . Amen
