Highlights from 1st-5th Grade Classes This Week:
Opening Lesson to prepare for the 5th Sunday of Lent:
As we approach the end of Lent, we pray for the desire to work even harder to see the beauty of the cross, and the glorious love of Our Lord Jesus Christ, crucified out of love for each and every one of us.
Desk work this past week:
The Raising of Lazarus
3 things to learn from the miracle of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead:
1) Jesus Wept. We read in the Gospel of John, that Our Lord wept over his dear friend's death. This reminds us that Jesus is truly man and truly God. He knows the sorrow of death of a close friend or loved one.
2) Jesus used the death of Lazarus to show the Glory of God. Jesus said,
"This illness is not to end in death,
but is for the glory of God,
that the Son of God may be glorified through it."
This proves to us that God only allows evil to bring a greater good. It also helps us and those at the time of Jesus to understand that Jesus truly is God. Jesus allowed his disciples and us, to witness miracles so that our faith in Him might increase.
3) The raising of Lazarus also teaches us that faith in Jesus Christ and His Church raise us to new life, both at the end of time and each time we are put back in right relationship with God through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Notice the picture of Jesus raising His hand in blessing. Our priests do the same when absolving us of our sins.

S
pecial Service Hours Opportunities:
1) Confirmation for the 8th grade class is next Thursday! For 3 service hours, we need mature, hard workers to help with the Confirmation Reception. The duties include plating cooking, refreshing tables with cookies, getting refreshments for our older guests, and cleaning up. The students will be allowed to see at least part of the Confirmation Mass. Good to see before it's their turn next year!
2) Reprinted from last week: If your student will listen to the episode of Archbishop Naumann's radio show, The Shepherd's Voice, and write a summary in the form of 4 or more questions and answers, they may
receive 1-2 service hours, depending on the length and quality of their paper. Further, if they add praying the Holy Rosary for these Christian brothers and sisters of ours, they may receive an additional 1 hour of service for a possible 3 hours.
Prayer is the greatest gift we can give to one another if it is done sincerely and with interior focus and love for neighbor!
