Jesus is laid in the tomb
Leader: We adore you O Christ, and we praise you. (genuflect)
ALL: Because by your holy cross, you have redeemed the world
Leader: Even when things look very difficult and sad, there is always hope that God can bring new life.
Reflection:
There are times in our lives when we become discouraged and things seem hopeless and have not worked out the way we thought. Problems with family, friends in school and work can make us unhappy. It can be helpful to share our problems with others.
Family challenge:Â
How do we work to overcome discouragement and hopelessness which can be part of family life today? Are we aware of the support that is available to us within our parish and school communities to help us when times are difficult?
Prayer:
Leader: Jesus, I believe that you died and rose from the dead so that I could have new life. Thank You so much for your sacrifice so that we could be in heaven with your Father
All sing: Were you there when they crucified my lord? Were you there when they crucified my lord? Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they crucified my lord?
