Good Friday and Holy Saturday-Sorry and Stuff

Hey! Sorry I didn't post yesterday. It's kind of a day where you don't do anything but pray. I didn't post for the same reason I don't post on Sundays. This post is just gonna count as the Saturday post too. Now I'll just post some stuff about Holy Week and Easter.

Holy Week is the week before Easter starting on Palm Sunday until Easter. The Church goes through the Passion of Christ. It consists of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. Holy Thursday celebrates the Last Supper, in which Jesus gives his body and blood to the disciples in the form of unleavened bread and wine. Good Friday celebrates the journey and death of Jesus on the cross. Holy Saturday is a day of, well... waiting. We wait until Easter when Jesus rises. As I just said, Easter is the celebration of Jesus's rising from the dead.

Well, that's all the info I can give you now but if you have any questions go ahead and ask.

Holy Thursday-While You Were Sleeping

Hey! It's Holy Thursday and I just got back from church. Our priest reenacts the Last Supper and so he asks 12 men, acting as the 12 disciples, to have their feet washed by him. He's getting old, though, so it's kinda scary watching him struggle to get up and get back down but he's an amazing priest! I love him soooo much. They needed more men so my dad went up and it's always really funny cause he had to do it for the past couple of years. I think that he secretly enjoys it! haha Today you guys get another video and I had to search for this one a little because I didn't have any more submissions for music videos. I don't mean to get annoying but this is another Casting Crowns song! Don't hate me, Steph. I know you hate em! I really like this video! I just happened to find it! Here it is

While You Were Sleeping by Casting Crowns


There you go! Do you guys want the lyrics, well here you go!

Oh little town of Bethlehem
Looks like another silent night
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
A giant star lights up the sky
And while you're lying in the dark
There shines an everlasting light
For the King has left His throne
And is sleeping in a manger tonight
Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
For God became a man
And stepped into your world today
Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping
Oh little town of Jerusalem
Looks like another silent night
The Father gave His only Son
The Way, the Truth, the Life had come
But there was no room for Him in the world
He came to save
Jerusalem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
The Savior of the world is dying on your cross today
Jerusalem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping
United States of America
Looks like another silent night
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children
And while we're lying in the dark
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky
For the Bridegroom has returned
And has carried His bride away in the night
America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
Will Jesus come again
And leave us slumbering where we lay
America, will we go down in history
As a nation with no room for its King
Will we be sleeping
Will we be sleeping
United States of America
Looks like another silent night

There you go! I got these lyrics at azlyrics.com

Wednesday- Betrayal

Hey! Today's Holy Wednesday! That means that it's part of the Holy Week. I have a passage for you from my Living Faith for Kids booklet.


He who has dipped his hand into the dish with me is the one who will betray me. Matthew 26:23
When I was in the fourth grade, I was betrayed by my best friends. I was crushed and all alone, and for a while I never wanted to see or speak to them again.
Judas, the apostle who betrayed Jesus, was close enough to share the same dish with him at the Last Supper. It must have hurt Jesus so badly. Jesus even said, "It would be better for that man if he had never been born."
Sometimes we can be hurt the most by the ones we love the most. It's not easy to forgive them, but Jesus leads us down the path where we must pick up our burdens and carry them.

There you are! I didn't write this so don't think I did.

Monday-Limbo of Infants

Hey! Today is debate topic day and also the day that I declare the winner of the Debate topic contest! We had many entrants and you will know the other debate topics in the coming mondays.

THE WINNER IS...
ALEXA!
Her debate topic about the "limbo of infants" won her first place! Here it is...

The Limbo of Infants is the idea that any babies, or infants, that were never baptized can't go to Heaven if they die, because they still have Adam and Eve's "original sin." Instead, the babies end up in the Limbo of Infants, which is like a purgatory. Although the Catholic Religion hasn't really defined this Limbo, they believe it exists. Debate whether you think the Limbo of Infants exists or not. Do some research on it!

There you are! Debate Away!
