Be Faithful ALL the Time

Did you ever have a friend or a classmate who was nice to you sometimes…but then ignored you other times? Maybe you played together
and hung out together a lot…but then all of a sudden that friend didn’t want to be with you? That sure doesn’t feel good, does it? Today is the third Sunday of Great Lent. Today, we remember the precious Cross. We remember how our Lord Jesus Christ died on the Cross. We remember how the Cross is always a sign of God’s power and love. But when we read the Gospel today, we also remember what we have to do, too! The Gospel says, “Whoever is ashamed of me and my words…of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the
glory of his Father with the holy angels.”

Let’s not be like a friend who isn’t always a friend, somebody who plays with you and then ignores you. Let’s be God’s friend all the time!

TRUSTING GOD’S PLAN: THE FEAST OF THE ANNUNCIATION

Wednesday is a big day! It’s the day we celebrate when the Angel Gabriel came to tell Mary that she was going to have a baby. And who was this baby? Our Lord, Jesus Christ, of course! At first, Mary, the Theotokos, was afraid, but she knew to trust in God. She knew that God had a special plan for her. God has a special plan for all of us, too, but we have to trust Him to help us with it!

We celebrate this great feast on Wed., March 25th (April 7, OC).

Each issue includes a message on the Sunday Gospel lesson and on one of the saints for the week. You’ll also find a coloring page and other activities. It is designed for a 8.5 x 14 page, so it can be printed and folded.
