First we cut out a Jesus shape from white felt. Then we cut a yellow oval which was just bigger than our white Jesus. Then we glued Jesus on the rays and added a thread loop to hang it on our Liturgical tree. 

Nothing fancy, although we did bend the ends back so they were less pointy. But, I don’t think St. May we all have your heroic love for Jesus and our fellow man.  God Bless you all.

Ignatius was a solder, but while he was recovering from a cannonball wound he began to read about Jesus He soon devoted his life to Jesus. He, along with St. If you are wondering what IHS means, it’s the name “Jesus” in Greek. Jesus is written ιησους in original Greek and is transliterated as “ihsous” and pronounced iēsous. 

We kind-of made Jesus for the Transfiguration, but this one is more ”real”.

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses If you offer these bad things as a prayerful sacrifice to Jesus, He can turn them into good.

The wrapped Jesus will remain in the tomb on Holy Saturday. Add the Resurrected Jesus and the Angel to the area in front of the tomb. *If it works better for the family, the kids can replace the wrapped Jesus with the Resurrected Jesus *Why bury Jesus after 3:00 PM but before dark?

Many Catholic families try to say a Rosary daily during Lent. I know that was how our family started saying a daily Rosary. It was a great way to begin a good habit! But one of the hardest things to do while saying a family Rosary is keeping young children quiet and happy while you pray. I’ve tried many different ways to keep my kids interested and involved. I’ve posted a list of ideas HERE and I’ve also created Rosary Sheets and Rosary Mats . We even made a Giant Pro-Life Rosary ! All were great ideas, but, as all things do, they can get old and the little ones begin to get wiggly again! So here is another attempt to keep them happy! 🙂 I created Lacing Rosaries! These are just right to keep little ones happy, involved, and interested! To create these you will need: the download (available for purchase HERE ) your printer stock/heavy paper laminator and 4 laminating sheets Note: the laminating step is not necessary, but without laminate, the lacing holes will break very easily. scissors hole punch yarn, shoestrings, thin ribbon, or other strings to use for lacing This file is for purchase in our shop. Click Here to visit our shop and purchase it! First, print the downloads onto heavy paper. Then cut them out. Next, use a hole punch to punch out the “Hail Mary” and “Our Father” lacing holes. We only punched the holes on the outer edge of the circle, not the ones between the crucifix and the Mary heart-center. Now laminate each sheet. Next, cut them out again and hole-punch them again. Leave about 1/4 inch (or more) of laminate all the way around the outer edge of the circle. This helps to keep the laminate from peeling apart. Cutting and hole punching 2 times may seem redundant, but they seal better if you do this step before and again after the laminating. It will help them hold up longer to the lacing and unlacing. Now they are ready to use! These are a great Rosary if you can’t say a Rosary all the way through in one sitting – you’ll never lose your spot!! Also, it may be a good idea to lace the Rosaries in one use and unlace them the next time you use them! Save the trouble of unlacing them after each use! It seemed to work best if the kids used one lace per decade. Attach the laces to the Our Father beads and then the child can start from there. They’ll lace with one string till they get to the next Our Father and then they can use a new string. The PDF includes:  Joyful Mysteries  Luminous Mysteries  Sorrowful Mysteries  Glorious Mysteries  All 4 on 1 Rosary Sheet (If you don’t want to make all 4 – just make 1!)
