Religious Education Rosary Presentation

During Lent we can pray the Sorrowful mysteries only. It is a time for us to dwell on Jesus’ suffering and His death. It is a time to look at our lives and examine them in relation to Jesus’ cross. How are we like the Jews of His day who stood before the Truth and said “Crucify Him?” 

Last week, the 6th and 7th graders in Religious Education led everyone in our Program in the Rosary. Together, we contemplated the mysteries of the rosary and reflected on a meditation as a group.

While we contemplate these mysteries, we know something the Jews of that time did not know. The story does not end with His crucifixion and death. That was only the beginning, and the Good News is we are all given a new beginning. Each day we have the opportunity to take up Jesus’ cross to help Him bear His burdens and to cleanse our souls of the sins we have accumulated. Now we know the rest of the story!
