You Are There
Select a few scenes from the Resurrection of Jesus. Imagine that you are there—it is happening now and you are one of the people in the scene. What would you want to say to Jesus if you could to talk to him? 

Discuss these questions as a family:
• Are people reluctant, cautious or afraid? How do you know?
• Was he recognized right away?
• Is there anything Jesus does that isn’t humanly possible?
• How does Jesus bring peace, comfort and/or forgiveness?

The following resource offers scripture and a focus for reflection for each of the 7 weeks of the Easter season. Each week you are also given a symbol to add to your prayer space, a challenge, and some questions to journal with. This would be a great "mini-retreat" to do as a family or on your own.
