Alleluia! Christ is risen! We have journeyed through the season of Lent together and now we celebrate the joy of the resurrection.
We hope our Easter family prayer ideas fill you with hope and happiness as you draw close to the risen Jesus.
Use our Easter prayers and give thanks and praise to Christ who is risen.
We have loads of great ideas for busy parents and families, including videos, games, and fundraising ideas.
Decorate an Easter Bonnet for CAFOD!
Go for a walk together and see how many signs of new life you can see. Give thanks to God! You may also want to pray for the places and people you pass on your way.
Take the cross you created during Lent (or make a large paper or cardboard cross) and cover it in flowers to remind you of the new life that Jesus brings. You may want to use tissue paper or decorate and cut out the flowers on this template sheet.
Once you have decorated the cross, you may wish to pray together:
Risen Jesus,
We rejoice that you are alive and with us.
Make us messengers of Easter joy and hope
for all the world.
Amen
As you colour one of our Easter sheets below, think about these questions together.
What was the first Easter morning like? How do you think Jesus' friends felt when they found that his tomb was empty?
How has your journey over Lent helped you follow Jesus more closely?
What signs of new life can you see in the world around you?
How can we share Easter joy and hope with others?
