Spy Wednesday 2017

On Wednesday during Holy Week, otherwise known as Spy Wednesday we remember how Judas was offered and accepted 30 pieces of silver in return to show the guards were Jesus was.  This is such an important day to talk about being a witness to our Faith and how to be able to stand up, and turn away material desires or other things to proclaim our faith in Jesus!  Our children also love the tradition of doing a little hunt for 30 pieces of silver!

Also, we were planning on going to Catechesis of the Good Shepard in the morning, but I had a flat tire so we stayed home instead!  I had planned on doing the Crucifixion Water Painting on Good Friday, but since we had the morning suddenly off we did it that morning! 

I had explained that they could just paint the background and our oldest son started painting little bits of red.  I asked what he was doing and he said he was drawing Jesus's wounds and bleeding.  He then drew Mary and John at the bottom of the Cross with Mary "weeping".  I almost started weeping when I saw how his heart was really thinking of the entire story of Jesus' crucifixion!  I also adore how when my oldest does something everyone else follows in line, so our 5 year old made his own depiction of the same story!
