In this liturgical lesson your child heard the Easter story about
Jesus' resurrection to new life. The aim of the lesson
was not to present the complete account of the death and
resurrection of Jesus, but rather to draw the child into
an awareness of the new life we receive through Jesus
Christ in Baptism--life in which we are to grow and
develop.
Take a minute to go over the Faith Summary on page 131 with
your child. You might want to ask, for example,
"What happened on Easter?" "How does
Jesus help us to grow in faith?"
Take your child to Mass on Easter Sunday. Talk about all the signs
of new life you see. Together, thank Jesus for the gift
of new life.
Springing into New Life
Easter is the season of new life. A butterfly is one sign of new
life in springtime. Have your child celebrate spring by
coloring the butterfly. Your child might want to attach
a butterfly to the sunflower he or she made in class.
