Family Prayer
Fifth Sunday of Lent
God makes a new way for us.
- After exile in Babylon, the Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem.
- The Jewish people were aware that the trip back to Jerusalem would be arduous and lead them to a devastated country in need of rebuilding.
- In today’s first reading, the prophet encourages the people to accept deliverance in this new exodus.
Freedom is knowing Christ Jesus.
- In his letter to the Philippians, Paul speaks of a different kind of liberation.
- Jewish Christians in Philippi insisted that Christians, including Gentiles, could be saved only by keeping all the prescriptions of Jewish law.
- Paul insists that salvation comes not through scrupulous observance of the law but through faith in Christ and his resurrection.
Who is without sin and can throw the first stone.
- In today’s Gospel, the Pharisees, intent on trapping Jesus, present a woman accused of adultery to him.
- Jesus did not contradict the law nor declare the woman guiltless.
- Instead, he forgave the repentant sinner and confronted her accusers with their own sinfulness.

Gift Twice Given Drive
NHJS would like to help you Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle this Lenten Season.
Reduce – Reduce the clutter in your house with some Spring cleaning of your bookshelves and dad’s closet.
Reuse – Help other children in our community reuse your gently used children’s or young adult’s books. Men who visit the Milwaukee Rescue Mission would also appreciate reusing any men’s used jeans.
Recycle – Recycle your gently used books and men’s jeans for the greater good of others in our community.
We are collecting new or gently used books to assist the Books for Kids program sponsored by the Next Door Foundation. We are also collecting used men’s jeans to assist the Milwaukee Rescue Mission in their efforts to support the homeless men in the Milwaukee and surrounding area.
Our goal is to collect at least 2 books per child in our school (about 250 books), but we would love to exceed this goal! We would also love to collect at least 50 pairs of used men’s jeans in good condition.
Donations will be accepted until April 8th. Collection boxes will be available in each classroom.
Thank you in advance for your family’s generous donation.
