Wow! 21 Days of isolation. 21 Days in which we’re only allowed to be in our homes (or gardens) and can only go out for the most essential things like food and medicine. It can be a little rough! All the things we usually do during the day, like school, sport, church … are not happening anymore. It can really confuse you and maybe even bore you a little. These daily readings will help you to spend some time with Jesus every day in a creative and fun way. You can do these readings and activities by yourself, with your siblings, or with your entire family. Ask one of the grownups to post your activity on Facebook so that others can enjoy it with you. Tag it with #solitudecalendar #churchtogether

It’s very easy to see other people’s faults, but when it comes to our own mistakes it’s not so easy to admit them. Today we celebrate Good Friday, the day Jesus was crucified to take away our sins so that we wouldn’t have to point out each other’s sins anymore. Jesus came so that we can move our focus from all the things we do wrong to the things that glorify Jesus. This is why we should focus on helping to build up other people’s faith with our words, actions, and attitude.
Why do you think Jesus died on the cross?
What does it mean to build up or break down other people’s faith?
Activity
Get a few blocks or Lego’s. Try to build a high tower with the blocks, but before you put each new block in place, name something that will help to build up someone’s faith, like praying for them.
Build a cross scene. Make sure there are 3 crosses in your scene. Decorate the middle cross with words that describe everything Jesus does for us.
