Follow in the footsteps of Jesus on the Way of Sorrows through this meaningful Lenten devotion. Ponder and pray over the pains and sacrifices of modern life as you are moved by the trials Jesus faced on the cross. This is a great faith opportunity for adults or families of all ages to pray together in a timeless Catholic devotion.

Opening Prayer (5 min.)

“Do Something” by Matthew West

Sent to Serve (10 min)

See slides presented by Ms. Hohner (or Mrs. Medio or Mr. Rosales in Religion during the week).
handout: Two Feet of Service and Justice graphic

We are sent at the end of every Mass to serve our brothers and sisters in this world. The very word “Mass” comes from the Latin “missa”, meaning “it is sent”.  The priest or deacon dismisses us with the word, “Go!” with the option to send us to do a couple of different things:

  • Go forth, the Mass is ended.
  • Go and announce the Gospel of the Lord.
  • Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life.
  • Go in peace.

Service is lifelong and part of being a mature Christian.  It’s not just for 5+ hours for Confirmation Prep or for 40 hours to graduate from H.S.  But our faith teaches us that service is just the beginning. In addition to Service (or Charity), there is also Justice. When you served for your hours, did you do acts of Charity or acts of Justice? Acts of charity give direct or indirect service to meet immediate needs: giving someone a hot meal, sorting books at the school library, setting up furniture for a parish event.  Acts of justice help to educate and to break the cycles of injustice and poverty through social change: participating in an awareness walk, stuffing envelopes for a mailing at an immigrant justice organization, registering people to vote.   ​

When we think of justice, we might picture a courtroom or a criminal getting a harsh sentence after being found guilty of a terrible crime, “justice has been served”.  But remember that Justice is a Cardinal (human) Virtue — something we work at in cooperation with God. When you act with justice, you are considering the needs of others and trying to be fair. ​But that does not mean treating everyone exactly the same (equally)!  If a student gets a paper-cut, they should get a bandage. If the next student to be hurt falls off the playground equipment and breaks their arm, the equal thing is to give them a bandage too — but that’s not helpful for a broken arm, that student needs to go to the ER and get an X-ray and a cast on their arm.  Equity is everyone getting what they need, not everyone getting the same thing.

In the eyes of God, we are all equal, with equal dignity and made in the image and likeness of God.  But sin forces many inequalities on us and creates barriers — racism, poverty, prejudice, etc. — to the resources and opportunities offered by the world God created.  Charity is doing what we can to help people overcome the existing barriers, while Justice is doing what we can to remove the barriers and open opportunities to all.  Charity and Justice work together.  Charity meets basic needs, helps individuals, and is more of a temporary fix.  Justice addresses or removes the root causes of social ills, improves structures​, and is more lasting in its effects. Both are necessary responses, though Justice often takes longer and is harder to achieve.  When a skateboarder is injured, you both tend to the wounds — whether a scraped elbow or a broken arm — and try to prevent a repeat injury — wearing better protective safety gear and maybe learning how to “fall safely”.  Other responses we might make are less necessary because they do not tend to the injury: outlawing skateboarding might protect property from damage or prevent a lawsuit, but it also takes away something fun that can be done reasonably safely. We don’t outlaw driving a car or walking and you can get hurt doing both of those.  Blaming the person who fell assumes they were doing something dangerous just because they were on a skateboard at the time — they could have hit a rough spot on the flat sidewalk or been crashed into by someone else.

Brainstorm a few examples from students’ service experiences of what might be Charity and what might be Justice.

Justice takes time and effort.  Charity can seem like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic – what impact or difference can an individual act make, when there are so many complicated problems in our world?  These are big challenges, but we have a lot of help through in our faith and hope in Jesus.  We are now in a Jubilee Year 2025, in which we recall that we are Pilgrims of Hope, traveling through this life hoping to get to eternal life and doing as much good as we can while we are here because Jesus sends us to do it.  We have hope that for God, all things are possible (Mark 10:27).  We have hope because Jesus gave his life on the cross and resurrected to new life in a victory over sin and death.  Pope Francis often uses the image that the Church is a hospital for sinners.  We are the paramedics, the Church is the hospital we are bringing the injured to, and Jesus is our ultimate healer.

Prayer Ritual (10 min)

Blessing using the Prayer of St. Teresa of Avila (extend hands over one another as we send each other forth to serve)

Christ has no body now but yours,​
No hands, no feet on earth but yours, ​
Yours are the eyes with which he looks compassion on this world, ​
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good,​
Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world.

Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, ​
Yours are the eyes, you are his body. ​
No hands, no feet on earth but yours, ​
Yours are the eyes with which he looks compassion on this world.​

Opening Prayer (5 min.)

Act of Faith – textbook p. 108

Belief, Faith and Trust (15 min)

Beliefs are based in evidence, in things that are convincing to us, either by logic or by observation. By learning more about the teachings of the Catholic Church, we come to question them, accept them and believe them.

Trust is a decision made based on belief.  If I believe that someone is my friend, I may decide to trust her.  But I can also choose not to trust. I may believe that elastic and latex are strong materials, but not trust them enough to bungee-jump off a bridge. There are people who believe in God but do not choose to trust either God’s wisdom or God’s goodness. There is a mutual element to trust that is not present in belief: good, healthy relationships require both individuals to trust each other.

However, we can understand faith as a gift from God. Through the grace we receive in the sacrament of Baptism, our parents pass along the gift of their faith to us.  Faith is based on a change of attitude, a change of heart, not on observable facts. While your beliefs may or may not influence your actions, true faith in your soul changes the actions you take and the way you are. It is a different outlook on the world. Our faith is what leads us to trust in God.

Video Conversation-Starter: “Jesus and Laura”:

Breakout Session: Trust in God (5 min)

Briefly discuss the video in small groups.

    • How do you define “faith”? What does it take in order to have faith?
    • What, besides fear, might get in the way of faith?  How can someone overcome fear or those other obstacles in order to have greater faith?

Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus & Instructions for Breakout (10 min)

Going deeper on the video with “Jesus and Laura.”  Students will each choose an image of Jesus’ face (found on their smart phones or from printed image options provided):

Then let’s look at Jesus’ face we have chosen, and pray along with the song “Turn Your Eyes” by Lauren Daigle.

Eucharistic Adoration (15 min)

A prayerful experience of contemplating the Divine Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, our spiritual food and the “Body of Christ“​.  

​We don’t see Jesus’ face!  We see what looks like bread and ​ we know tastes like bread but ​IS the Body of Jesus Christ! ​

We trust in the words of Jesus:​

“I am the Bread of Life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.” – John 6:35​

Intro to Scripture: Jesus, the Word (5 min)

Sacred Scripture is the inspired Word of God, written down by many faithful people and edited together under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  The Bible is divided into the Old Testament (before Jesus) and New Testament (Jesus and the early Church).  The Bible is like a library, made up of 73 books (46 OT, 27 NT).  Finding passages is easy once you know how to read a citation with the name of the book, the number of the chapter, and the number(s) of the verse(s).

Scripture is always present when we pray as a Church — in the words of common prayers (like Our Father & Hail Mary) or the source of the text in songs and psalms, or the Scriptures proclaimed aloud at Mass.

Breakout Session: “Who is Jesus?” (35 min)

Trivia Game: What do we know about Jesus?

MATERIALS: toss-and-tell beach ball with trivia questions * answer key in an envelope
Alternate materials: 2 envelopes of Question & Answer cards for “Go Jesus Fish” matching card game

  • Within your group, toss around the beach balls with questions to test our knowledge of Jesus.  The person catching the ball reads the question that their right thumb (or another finger the group chooses) lands on.  The ball goes to the person with the best answer, or perhaps the person who has not had a turn.  Each group has an answer key in an envelope for the catechist/facilitator.
  • This activity should replace the “Go Jesus Fish!” matching card trivia game as it can be done more easily with social distancing.  Cards will be available and the online version on Sporcle.com still works for students joining class on Zoom or working remotely with the Zoom recording.

Scripture Exploration: Who Is Jesus?

Each table/group receives a set of 3 passages relating to Jesus’  life and ministry.  Reflection questions accompany the passages. Each table selects a scribe to take notes about their answers on the question sheets.  At the end of the breakout session, each table/group reports on their conclusions in answer to the question “Who Is Jesus?” based on what is revealed about him in the three passages.

MATERIALS:  question sheets specific to each group

Alternate Materials:

Confirmation – Fruits Breakout ORANGE PURPLE

by

ORANGE & PURPLE Breakout Group

Fruits to discuss:
Love * Goodness * Gentleness * Chastity

LOVE (CHARITY)
in selfless service to others

What forms of love and charity could be the work of the Holy Spirit?

Saint Maximilian Kolbe: As a priest imprisoned in the concentration camp at Auschwitz during World War II, Father Kolbe celebrated Mass with the prisoners using smuggled bread and wine. He was given the worst jobs and treated the most harshly because he was so calm and dedicated to his faith. When there was an escape from the camp in July 1941, ten prisoners were to be killed as punishment. Francis Gajowniczek, a married man with small children, was chosen to die. Maximilian Kolbe sacrificed himself by trading places with Francis.

GivesMeHope.com: “It was my sister’s birthday last week. For presents, she had everyone take something to Greater Works or Toys for Tots. She spent her entire birthday volunteering at a soup kitchen. She didn’t have to do that. She could have devoted her entire birthday to herself. But she didn’t. Lea, you give me hope!”

GOODNESS
loving all people without exception

When was the last time you went out of your way to help someone?

Saint Damien Joseph De Veuster of Moloka’i (Father Damien the Leper): Before any treatment for leprosy was available, those who suffered from it were exiled to remote areas so they wouldn’t infect anyone else. Father Damien heard about a leper colony on the island of Moloka’i in Hawaii and volunteered to care for the lepers. He spent the next 12 years of his life among the lepers, celebrating Mass for them and tending to their needs, before he also died of the disease.

GivesMeHope.com: “Today, my tire blew out on the way home from school. I pulled into the nearest parking lot and got out to change it – in negative forty degree weather. While struggling to pull the spare out the trunk, a random man approached me and offered to change it for me. I doubt you’ll see this, but thank you. Men who take the time to help a girl out give me hope.”

GENTLENESS
strength that is kept in check by love for others

How do you show gentleness to others?

Saint Teresa of Calcutta (Mother Teresa): Mother Teresa lived most of her life in the poorest parts of India. She founded hospitals and orphanages to serve the “untouchable” lowest classes in Indian society – the people no one wanted to even think about. She prayed with the dying, played with the smallest and most starving children, and lived simply among them, with two sets of robes and a rosary as her only possessions.

GivesMeHope.com: “My father died a couple of years ago. My mom’s new boyfriend listens to all our stories, still lets my mom wear her wedding ring, lets my mom keep pictures of him on the walls and he even celebrates my dad’s birthday with us. We were talking about stories we shared with my father, and he even cried with us. He doesn’t know my dad, but his kindness gives me hope.”

CHASTITY
being faithful to your physical sexuality and your spiritual dignity

Why do you think it is important to show respect for ourselves and others?

Saint Maria Goretti: Maria was an 11-year-old girl in Italy who was grabbed outside her home by a 19-year-old neighbor, Alessandro, who had lusted after her. He threatened her life and tried to rape her, and Maria said she would rather die than submit to him. The man pulled out a knife and began to stab her. When she lay in the hospital, Maria forgave her attacker before she died. Three years into his jail sentence, Alessandro began to feel remorse. He had a dream in which Maria offered him lilies, but the flowers turned to ashes in his hands. After he was released from prison, Alessandro was forgiven by Maria’s mother and they both attended Maria’s canonization Mass. Alessandro gave the rest of his life to God as the caretaker at a monastery.

GivesMeHope.com: “Today, my grandparents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. My grandmother told us she watched football with my grandfather every week for 60 years, because she’d rather be in the room with him, and have no idea what’s going on, than alone in another room. He responded with a huge smile, ‘That’s my girl!’ Their love gives me hope.”

Confirmation – Fruits Breakout BLUE GREEN

by

BLUE & GREEN Breakout Group

FRUITS TO DISCUSS:
Joy * Kindness * Faithfulness * Generosity

JOY
which lasts through any trials​

How do you express joy in the Lord?

Saint Teresa of Avila: Teresa once wrote, “God, deliver me from sullen saints!” She believed that great joy of the heart is visible in all who truly serve God. She even joked with God. Once when she was crossing the street, a passing cart splashed mud on her white robes. Teresa looked up to heaven with a smile and said, “Lord, if this is how you treat your friends, it is no wonder you have so few.”

GivesMeHope.com: “Today, I learned that my ten-year-old brother has cancer. After I cried for a while, he looked at me and said, ‘Why are you crying? It’s just another test from God. And we will surely pass with flying colors.’ My little brother’s optimism gives me hope.”

KINDNESS
Selfless acts of compassion​

What random acts of kindness have you done or had done for you today?

Saint John Bosco: John Bosco had many dreams as a young man. In one dream, John was cursed by a crowd of homeless children, and he fought back against them. Jesus appeared in the dream and told John to win his battle with kindness instead of fighting. The dream children changed to wild animals, and Jesus asked John to trust that if he followed what he had said, the wild animals would turn into gentle lambs. Changed by the dream, John learned to juggle and perform magic tricks. He used these performances to get the attention of street children, who did not trust easily because of being abandoned. John’s life’s work was to show these children that God cared about them.

GivesMeHope.com: “When I was in seventh grade, all of my supposed friends blew off my birthday party when they had said they would come. Only one person showed up. My older sister had some of her guy friends over, and when they saw how sad I was, they canceled their plans to hang out with me on my birthday. Teenage boys who care about their friend’s little sister give me hope.”

FAITHFULNESS
loyalty in your commitments to God & to others​

Who in your life do you want to be faithful to?

Saint Thomas More: Thomas was a scholar, lawyer, and family man. His wisdom and knowledge helped him become Lord Chancellor of England – second in power only to the king. Thomas disagreed with King Henry’s plan to divorce his wife, who had only borne him a daughter, and marry another woman. Because the Pope would not approve the divorce, Henry then declared himself the head of the Church of England. Thomas refused to swear an oath recognizing the change and resigned as chancellor. Thomas More was imprisoned and beheaded for refusing to put the king’s will before God’s.

GivesMeHope.com: “I am a 25-year-old single mother to my wonderful six-year-old son. One day my son wanted M&Ms. I told him Mommy couldn’t afford them, to which a lady started saying my son deserved better. My son stood up and said, ‘My mommy is the best mommy. As long as I’ve got her I don’t need a Daddy, or even M&Ms.’ My son gives me hope.”

GENEROSITY
willingness to give, even at a cost to your own​ needs or wants

What do you think motivates us to be generous to others?

Saint Nicholas of Myra: Nicholas was a bishop in what is now the country of Turkey. He knew a family with three daughters, who were so poor they were going to sell the daughters in order to buy food. To save the girls from this fate, one night Nicholas crept to their house and threw three bags of gold through the open window. Saint Nicholas is the model for Santa Claus because of these generous gifts left secretly in the night.

GivesMeHope.com: “Yesterday I was downtown shopping and saw a skinny homeless man. He asked me to buy him a bag of chips. I bought him two slices of pizza and two waters and told him he could save the other for dinner. He thanked me and I went into a store. When I came out, I saw he had shared it with a homeless woman. Selflessness in any situation gives me hope.”
