Summary

During the season of Easter we are surrounded by rich symbols that all point us back to Jesus and the Resurrection, whether we realize it or not! This week we will explore some key easter symbols.

+ MONDAY: Easter Eggs

+ TUESDAY: Lilly

+ WEDNESDAY: New Clothes and Easter Bonnets

+ THURSDAY: The Victorious Lamb

+ FRIDAY: The Empty Tomb and the Divine Mercy.

We challenge you to keep celebrating with Jesus all week! After all, we are in the Easter Octave!

In April we are learning the God Alone Suffices Prayer. Here are the words, so you can follow along:

I offer you, Lord, my thoughts: to be fixed on you;

my words: to have you for their theme;

my actions: to reflect my love for you;

my sufferings: to be endured for your greater glory.

I want to do what you ask of me:

in the way you ask,

for as long as you ask,

because you ask it.

I pray, Lord, that you enlighten my mind, inflame my will, purify my heart, and sanctify my soul.

YOU ARE INVITED: We are hosting an Easter Party inside the Clubhouse on Friday, April 5th at 5pm. Join us for prayer, games, celebration and a chance to win real prizes. You can learn more about the Clubhouse, a community for Catholic Kids here: https://catholicsprouts.com/join-the-clubhouse/

0:30.9	Hey there, sprouts. Today is Tuesday, April 2, 2024. Today is also the feast day of a great saint from the 1400s, St. Francis of Paola, and he was a great saint that re-enlivened the Franciscan order.
0:40.5	He also has some ridiculous miracles attributed to him.
0:44.9	If you ever want to hear some crazy stories, read his story.

0:58.2	Today is Tuesday of the Easter octave, so keep celebrating.
1:03.4	And today we are going to talk about the symbol of the lily, which I feel confident you saw

1:32.2	you for their theme, my actions to reflect my love for you, my suffering to be endured for your

2:06.0	Amen. So yesterday we talked about eggs, how they're a symbol of the resurrection and why we paint eggs. Today we're talking about the lily. Now from the very,
2:13.3	very beginning, the lily has been connected with the resurrection.
2:18.9	And this goes back to what tradition tells us happened in the Garden of Gisemone
2:25.7	after Jesus was there for his agony in the garden.
2:30.2	Now, if you remember, Jesus went there in the middle of the night.
2:33.8	He brought a few of his disciples with them and asked them to pray because he was really going through the test.
