2nd Sunday of Lent
Dear Blessed Trinity teachers, students, and families,
This weekend we hear one of my favorite prefigurements of Jesus - Abraham and Isaac! I love teaching our students about the symbols we see in Abraham and Isaac and how they are seen in the fulfillment of Jesus: they're often mind-blown...
- Abraham put the wood for the sacrifice on the back of his son Isaac to carry up the mountain // Jesus, the son of God, had wood on his back for the sacrifice of the Lamb of God carried up the mountain
- The mountain that Abrhama and Isaac climbed was in the range of Moriah // Jesus walked up mount Calvary which is in the same mountain range
- God says to Abraham, "I will provide myself a sacrifice" // later Jesus is that sacrifice - God himself
- Isaac willingly lays himself down to be sacrificed on the pile of wood for the offering// Jesus lays down his life to be sacrificed on the wood of the cross
- Abraham is promised countless descendants to populate the Promised Land // Jesus opens the doors to Heaven (THE promised land) for all of humanity
What a beautiful foreshadowing we have in Abraham and Isaac!
I hope you and your families are having a wonderful and fruitful Lenten season,
--Mrs. Zepp

Virtue of the Month
Each month we focus on learning about a different virtue to help our students grow in holy habits. Attached you will find more information about the curriculum we use to guide our discussions and point us to Saints that exemplify each virtue. Below are some activities for you to do as a family to make home connections about what we learn in schoo
February Virtue:
Honesty
Definition:
Being trustworthy and true
Congratulations to Meyer, Felix, Solomon, Jameson, and Ms. H for their exemplification of the virtue of Gratitude in January!
