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/

0:32.2	Hey there, sproutsouts, today is Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024. We are officially on our third solemnity, no, our fourth solemnity in a row. We are in the Easter octave, so I hope you're continuing
0:38.7	to celebrate. This week we're talking about important symbols of Easter and how they do point
0:45.0	back to Jesus. We've talked about Easter eggs, we've talked about the lily. Today we're going to
0:51.0	talk about something that certainly reminds me of my own childhood,
0:54.8	and that is new clothes and even Easter bonnets.
1:00.0	These were rich symbols for hundreds of years.
1:03.5	They might not be quite as popular these days, but they're still important symbols for us to reflect on.
1:09.3	Before we get there, however, please join me in our April

2:01.3	Amen.
2:10.8	So, what does new clothes, or a couple, maybe a generation ago, an Easter bonnet?
2:14.0	What do those things have to do with Easter?
2:25.3	Well, if you remember, Easter is a celebration of death and new life. All of Lent, we struggled to die to sin and temptation. We did this by taking on special penances, by spending more time in
2:33.4	prayer, by focusing on alms giving.
2:37.3	And if you did lent right, there was a death, there was suffering, there was things that you
