Once again this year we were able to continue our Good Friday traditions with our growing family. We had a small passion lunch with each item reminding us of the various events of the passion of our Lord. This year we added the resurrection eggs to go along with the lunch. Sony was able to explain each item along with the resurrection eggs which really got the kids excited. Anna just loved it. I am not sure how much she understood but she definitely had fun. This year on Holy Thursday I made the last supper pic with the egg carton inspired by Lucy at Catholic Icing. I also did the stations of the cross again inspired by Catholic Icing . I think we will be able to continue using the same one every year.

George getting all excited about the lunch. What a great way to reflect upon our Lord's passion!! It is amazing to see how much the children enjoy each of these celebrations and try to understand more and more about their faith each year. George was able to grasp much more than last year.

| My Anna... |
Anna loved the resurrection eggs. She wanted to go over it again and again. She enjoyed opening the eggs and finding each items inside. It was altogether a lovely lunch. We all enjoyed it thoroughly and even though we did this mainly for the kids I have to admit how much more I was able to reflect upon the day's importance as I made each item for this lunch. I felt like I was being a part of this whole event.
How much my Jesus loved me, so poor and ignorant sinner I am and yet he died for me on the cross. Oh....how I wish I could really express what I feel in my heart right now. Help me Lord to be always faithful to you in everything that I do, to build up your faith in my family, in my children, to apply your teachings in my day to day life and ultimately offer up myself as a living sacrifice. Thank you Jesus for loving us so unconditionally despite all the conditions we make.
