Family Prayer 

Second Sunday of Lent

Reading I : Genesis 22:1-2, 9, 10-13, 15-18

Because you trusted me, I will bless you greatly.

• In the story of the sacrifice of Isaac, the sin of disobedience that brought alienation and death is healed by obedience.
• The Canaanites believed the first born belonged to God.
• Abraham's test of faith emphasizes the fact that God demands obedience, not sacrifice.

Reading II : Romans 8:31-34

Who can be against us?

• The reading from Romans presents a parallel to God's demand on Abraham.
• God does not demand the sacrifice of Abraham's son as a price of the covenant relationship.
• God does sacrifice the life of his own Son to preserve the covenant relationship with humankind.

Gospel : Mark 9:2-10

He was transfigured before their eyes!

• The story of Jesus' transfiguration is full of symbolism.
• The images of cloud and mountain suggest God's appearance at the covenant-making on Mount Sinai.
• Moses, the major figure in Exodus and Sinai covenant, represents the law, and Elijah, great ninth-century prophet of Israel, represents the prophets.
• Jesus is the fulfillment of the law and the prophets.

Amazing Staff Member Drawing

SJE had an outstanding staff member drawing. Students completed a “Happy mail delivery for an amazing teacher” form. Each student had two forms to send a message to two staff members they find amazing. The forms were collected, placed in a box, and names were drawn. The first name drawn won a cookie bouquet and three additional names were drawn and each received a teacher jeans day pass. 

The winners:

Mrs. Rillorta- Cookie bouquet

Mr. Courchane, Mrs. Wisniewski, and Mrs. Thiel- Jeans day passes

After the drawing all of the “Amazing Teacher” forms were sorted and given to the teachers so each could read about how the students find them amazing. 

A big shout out to Mrs. Hess, a school parent, for donating the cookie tree prize, creating the amazing teacher form, and sharing her great plan to spread joy among our staff. Thank you for thinking of us!
