The Tomb Is Empty!

If you've got a green thumb, here's a nice indoor project to do in anticipation of finding the empty tomb on Easter morning! It takes about seven days to come to fruition, so plan ahead.

Using a shallow dish, potting soil, shade grass seed, rocks, miniature crosses made from twigs, and a tiny buried flower pot, you can create a table-top Easter garden featuring the empty tomb! Just keep it in a warm, sunny spot, and moisten it with several spritzes a day from a spray water bottle. It's a fun project for the kids, and a beautiful reminder for us all of the stone being rolled away from the garden tomb.

Keep the flower pot's sepulchre opening closed with a larger rock until Easter Sunday morning! And then.......

Christ is risen! Indeed, He is risen!

Morning Offering

Oh my God, in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer Thee the Precious Blood of Jesus from all the altars throughout the world, joining with it the offering of my every thought, word, and action of this day.

Oh my Jesus, I desire today to gain every indulgence and merit I can and I offer them, together with myself, to Mary Immaculate, that she may best apply them to the interests of Thy Sacred Heart. Precious Blood of Jesus, save us! Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us! Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

Amen.

Catholic Homeschooling

Catechism of the Catholic Church:

2221 The role of parents in education is of such importance that it is almost impossible to provide an adequate substitute. The right and the duty of parents to educate their children are primordial and inalienable.

2222 Parents must regard their children as children of God and respect them as human persons. Showing themselves obedient to the will of the Father in heaven, they educate their children to fulfill God's law.

2223 Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children. They bear witness to this responsibility first by creating a home where tenderness, forgiveness, respect, fidelity, and disinterested service are the rule. The home is well suited for education in the virtues.

2229 As those first responsible for the education of their children, parents have the right to choose a school for them which corresponds to their own convictions. This right is fundamental.
