Weekly Reflection Questions - For Families with Kids
What is the name for today, according to the Church calendar? (Easter Sunday, The Resurrection of the Lord)
From which gospel do we hear today? (John)
Who are the main characters in today’s gospel? (Mary Magdala, Jesus, Simon Peter, and the other disciple whom Jesus loved - the Beloved Disciple)
How do you think Mary Magdala was feeling when she discovered the empty tomb?
Do you think you’d be more like the Beloved Disciple or Simon Peter in the story? (The Beloved Disciple ran faster to the tomb but did not go in until after Simon Peter had entered the tomb.)
As a family, talk about how the Resurrection of Jesus helps each member to live in hope.
