Lent is our greatest season of hope because it awaits the great mystery of Jesus resurrection on Easter morning. In the Catholic school classroom, we have an opportunity to bring extra focus to these benefits for our students. During Lent, we can introduce or do again practices that will enrich the spiritual lives of the students while passing on our tradition of expectant and fruitful waiting for the triumph of Life over Death. Each of these ideas is accompanied by a related Scripture quotation. Encourage them to learn one quote by heart. Christians are Easter people, people who have hope that life will conquer death, despite all evidence to the contrary. In your role as a Catholic school teacher, you cannot know exactly what the future will bring, but you can trust God to be with you in it.
