Palm Sunday & The Last Supper (washing of hands/feet)

Retelling the events of Holy Week

Today our children re-enacted the events of Holy Week. Thanks to Prep/1and Mrs McKinley  who re told the story of Palm Sunday and Year 2/3 and Mrs Noonan who re-enacted the Washing of the feet (hands) and Last Supper. It was a simple but meaningful reflection on the very important Easter Story. It was lovely that some parents were able to join us. We look forward to  celebrating Easter Sunday upon return in Term 2.

    INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMEND YOUR SPIRIT

    This Sunday, we begin the holiest week of the Church’s liturgical year. We read two passages from the Gospels, relating how the joyful entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, accompanied by crowds who acclaim him as Saviour and King, gave way to his betrayal and death, alone and abandoned by all. The other readings help us understand the meaning of these events of the Passion.

    The First Reading is one of the passages about the suffering servant of God from the book of Isaiah. As Christians, we read this as showing how Jesus lived out his patient trust in God. It can help and enable us to bear our trials and difficulties.

    St Paul’s text in the Second Reading is a hymn to Jesus’s life and death. Christ’s humility in becoming a human being was even more profound when he accepted to die a shameful death on a cross. But, as Paul  writes, God raised him from death and gave him the highest name of all, so that all beings should bend the knee to Jesus and ‘acclaim Jesus Christ as Lord, to the glory of God the Father.’

    This week we accompany Jesus; we pray for the grace of an awareness of our sinfulness, and for sorrow and true contrition in the face of the sufferings of Jesus. Source: Scripture reflection from https://www.australiancatholics.com.au/.
