✝️April 6, Monday of Holy Week, Liturgical Color is Purple 1st Reading: Is 42:1-7
Psalm Response: Ps 27:1-3,13-14, Gospel: Jn 12:1-11
💜In today’s Gospel, Jesus shares a meal with his friend, Lazarus, who was raised from the dead. Jesus gives us “new life” through Him. Spring is essentially a time where we visibly see new life “spring forth” in nature. On Monday of Holy Week families can reflect on the gift of new life that Jesus shares with us.

Create a dish garden that includes a tomb. There are many ways to create your dish garden. You can use a styrofoam meat tray, some rocks, a plastic cup for the tomb, and some seeds. Close the tomb until Easter. After creating and enjoying your Resurrection Garden, you may like to give it away on Holy Thursday as an act of service. Simply leave it on the doorstep of a neighbor or relative to share your joy! Take a nature walk and search for pussy willow or forsythia branches. Cut the branches that may not be bloomed yet and place in water. Buds will bloom by Easter.
