The Power of the Gospel Today
The Power of the Gospel Today is our theme for the Lenten faith sharing Emmaus Groups. The Gospel of Jesus gives us the strength, hope and love that we need in our lives. The faith sharing groups will be meeting virtually. The source and guide that we will be using are the Scripture readings for the Sundays of Lent as found in, 52 Sundays, https://www.52sundays.com/ , which includes the Sunday readings, prayers, reflection questions, ideas for putting the Gospel message into action, a brief biography of a saint and even a recipe. In addition to the text we will have a short video clip to stimulate and enhance our discussion.

11. GOF Session 4 for Children/Teens
The new session of GOF for kids and teens is the Paschal Mystery with emphasis, on Holy Week, particularly, Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter. We will see how Jesus is our hope. Jesus dying on the cross is not the end but the beginning of new life. Jesus is our rising sun. He is the Son of God giving us all life and hope.
The children’s and teen videos will highlight the resurrection. As they watch the video, they are encouraged to see how the various people responded to Jesus and to think about how they would respond.
Our Easter message is also how to make Jesus alive today by reaching out to people in need and responding in a positive way. The works of mercy are included in the discussion papers to give guidance in service to others.
The children’s handouts include craft suggestions such as an Easter card design and directions to make an Easter wreath.
May our Lenten practices lead us to a joy-filled Easter.
