Ministry to Children
Easter 2A
MINISTRY-TO-CHILDREN: In this message, children will hear the story of Thomas, the disciple who refused to believe in the Resurrection until he saw Jesus himself. Use simple “unbelievable tricks” to introduce the element of doubt and skepticism, and emphasize to youngsters the importance of trusting in God even though we don’t physically see Him. Jesus calls those who believe without seeing “blessed”– that includes us!

Gospel Anagrams
“Empty tomb, wowed Peter and John! Omen of risen Christ, blessed miracle.”
In this anagram, all of the letters in the phrase “Empty tomb” are used to create new words and phrases that relate to the Gospel story in John 20:1-9. Peter and John found the tomb empty, which was a sign of Christ’s resurrection, and this was a blessed miracle that affirmed their faith.
Gospel Scramble
Aword scramble game based on keywords from the passage? Here are the instructions:
- Choose four to five keywords or phrases from John 20:1-9, such as “tomb,” “stone,” “linen,” “saw,” and “believed.”
- Jumble the letters of each keyword or phrase, and write them down out of order.
- Print or write out the jumbled words and give the list to the players.
- Each player must solve the scramble by unscrambling the letters to form the correct word or phrase!
Example:
- “bomt” becomes “tomb”
- “stoen” becomes “stone”
- “ilenn” becomes “linen”
- “swa” becomes “saw”
- “lveeeibd” becomes “believed”
Have fun!

Easter 2A

In the Creed we say that Jesus rose on the third day, but if Jesus died on a Friday and rose on a Sunday, isn’t that just two days? In this video I explain the math behind the Resurrection and why St. Paul and even Jesus himself referenced the three days in the tomb between his death and Resurrection. These three days, of course, are the reason we celebrate the Paschal Triduum on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.
