The Gospel for All Ages
About the Gospel:
Jesus enter Jerusalem amidst great excitement. The city quickly turns against him. Jesus celebrates his Last Supper with his Apostles on Passover. He is arrested the next day and is soon tortured and crucified. His body is laid to rest in a sealed tomb.
At Home:
Visit smbphx.org and have your family pray the Stations of the Cross online. The stations mark Jesusā difficult journey to the place where he was crucified. Notice the many people who helped Jesus when he needed it.
Family Prayer:
God, help us to be selfless like Jesus as we put other peopleās needs before our own. Amen.
