Through our Baptism we have received the Risen Life and Light of Jesus Christ. But how do we live as children of light? How do we ensure that that light is being protected and cared for and shining forth as gift to others? During Lent the Level III (3rd - 6th grade) children have been taking time each week to ponder their individual branches on the True Vine, using the moral parables and maxims to assist in this examination, and praying for God's help and strength in living well in the Kingdom of God. The great gift of Reconciliation is an incredible aid to us along this journey, and part of our time has been spent pondering anew this beautiful Sacrament by which we can come to ask for forgiveness and healing, protection and strength. God is so very good.
