I enlarged our KidsRelig masthead because I found it to be a small reminder of this week’s gospel, and I wanted it to be just a little larger.
Jesus struggles for forty days in the desert with Satan and all that corrupts the world. Undefeated, and yet, still challenged, he immediately comes out of the desert to begin preaching the Gospel.
I couldn’t help but think how we struggle at times in KidsRelig with the many challenges of teaching our kids and learning from them. Undefeated, and yet, still challenged, we always make our way out of the desert to do what we are committed to do at KidsRelig—“Passing on the Gospel.”
Pray for us—our teachers, who are so generous with their time and talent, and our kids, who are really so patient with us as we try to find just the right Word.
Welcome Back!
Classes resume this week—February 28, 29 and March 1.
First Penance
Our Second Graders will celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation in their First Penance this week. Confessions for the Second Graders will take place during the regular sessions Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Remind your Second Grader, as we have, that the real celebration of the sacrament is in God’s gift to us of a second chance. God knows us better than we know ourselves. So, we are hardly letting Him in on any secret that we haven’t been all that perfect. But God is letting us in on something He can’t keep secret—that He is a God of second chances, always ready to forgive those whom He loves.
Confessions will continue this week during the first sessions on Tuesday and Thursday for middle school students.
Love,
Deacon Charlie
