Treasures & Ripley

Hi Everybody!

First we would like to thank you for all the prayers for our cousin Ripley. He is still in the hospital but he seems to be doing a bit better. We should have more news tomorrow.

And while you are praying please remember to pray for the people of Nepal. They had a terrible earthquake and many people died and even more have lost their home. Nepal is on the other side of the world so it's very hard to help, but prayers are very important.

On a happier note we have heard that many of our friends went to see our master and all the treasures of the diocese.

 

 

 

It is only open for 2 more days so we hope you get there.

Woof!

Prayers for Ripley

Hi Everybody!

Today we are very sad and worried. Our cousin Ripley has had a terrible week and now he is having an operation. We are not sure if he is going to make it. Please pray for him. Please ask St. Francis who loves all animals to pray for him.

Thank you. Woof.

Happy Easter Everybody!

We were so busy at Mass

(this is the cross at our parish)

and then hunting for Easter eggs and then having supper at our granny's, we completely forgot to write our blog post yesterday! We hope everybody had a great Easter.

And don't forget Cloë we helped our master make this bunny cake - the marshmallows and icing were delicious - remember.

I do Tallulah.

And the good news is that today is just the second day of the 50 day Easter season! so we really are not late at all.

Here is a video recapping all of Holy Week including Easter.

And here is a fun song that helps you to remember what Jesus' resurrection means.

And another Happy Easter! Woof!

Jesus is Crucified

Today was a very sad day at church Cloë. I can't believe that Jesus died.
 
It is a sad day Cloë.

But there are 3 important things to remember.
 
#1: Jesus died to save all the humans because He loves them so much.
 
 

 
#2: Jesus is not really dead. What we did today at church is remember his death that happened 2000 years ago.
 
#3: Jesus resurrected from the dead on Easter! And He is alive and well in Heaven.

 
Phew, I am very relieved Cloë I was just so sad and worried.
 
Easter is not for another day but we found two great ideas for celebrating this very important day and we wanted to give you enough time to make them.
 
The first is a Resurrection Garden.

 
Oh that is beautiful Cloë!
 
It really is Tallulah. If you go to Catholic Icing you can find out how to make it.
 
The second delicious thing you can do is make Resurrection Rolls. They are easy and it is a neat way to learn more about Jesus being placed in the tomb and what happened on Easter morning.

The Triduum!

Whoa Cloë! What the heck does Triduum mean?!

Triduum is the word we use to talk about Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter! It's actually one long Mass!

You mean there is a Mass that is longer than the one we went to last Sunday - wow!

There is indeed Tallulah. But the people go home between each part. And each part is only about 1 hour to 1 and a half hours.

So tonight is Thursday, so that must mean the Triduum starts tonight with Holy Thursday!

Very clever Tallulah. Do you know what happens at this part of the Mass?

I sure do, this is when we remember Jesus' last supper with his friends, the apostles.

 In fact, I found a craft over at Catholic Icing of the Last Supper.

And do you remember some of the very important things that Jesus did at the Last Supper.
 
Well I think this is when he turned the bread and wine into his body and blood.

I think he also created the priesthood that night.

Clearly you have been doing some studying Tallulah, I'm very proud of you.
 
Here is a short video of that Last Supper (+ the rest of the story.)
