While it is still the season of Lent, our hearts are lifted by the approaching joy of Easter—the celebration of Christ’s victory over sin and death. In this holy season, we are reminded that our hope for salvation rests in the Resurrection of our Lord.
You also have the opportunity to bring the classroom home by introducing the faith to families and encouraging them to live liturgically at home. Every few sessions in Spirit of Truth, we have a parent newsletter that includes summaries of what they have learned, prayers or meditations, and quick discussion questions. Here is a sample newsletter.
On our liturgical page, we also have two monthly resources for families. A Fridge Page includes a saint for the month, prayers, and activities for the family, and Car Conversations provides discussion questions or conversation starters.
Your role as a Catholic educator is a powerful witness to hope. By your words, example, and love, you help your students see that Christ’s resurrection is not merely a historical event but a living reality that shapes our lives today. May the promise of Easter fill you with renewed strength and joy as you continue your mission of forming minds and hearts in Christ. As you prepare your students to experience the joy of the risen Christ, may you also be deeply blessed by His peace.
