FAITH FORMATION NOTES
Gospel Reading
Mark 14:1—15:47 (shorter form: Mark 15:1-39)
Jesus is sentenced to death and crucified. The centurion who witnessed his death declared, “This man
was the Son of God.”
Family Connection
Palm Sunday, also called Passion Sunday, marks the beginning of Holy Week. During this week, we
prepare ourselves for Easter by prayerfully reflecting on the events of Jesus’ passion and death.
During this week, your family might display a crucifix in a prominent place as reminder of the salvation
that Christ won for us. This can also serve as the focal point for family prayer during Holy Week.
Because of the length and complexity of the passion narrative, it is difficult for children to remain
attentive when it is proclaimed in its entirety. Families can make it a tradition to read a portion of this
Sunday’s Gospel each day of Holy Week, providing ample opportunity for children to ask questions and
respond to the events described there. In this way, the entire week can become a “way of the cross.”
Each day during Holy Week, the family can gather in a prayerful space with a crucifix as its focal point.
The passion as found in Mark’s Gospel might be read as follows throughout the week:
Sunday: Mark 11:1-10 (Gospel at the Procession with Palms)
Monday: Mark 14:1-11
Tuesday: Mark 14:12-26
Wednesday: Mark 14:27-52
Thursday: Mark 14:53-72
Friday: Mark 15:1-41
Saturday: Mark 15:42-47
After reading from the Gospel each night, the family might reflect on the reading together. Conclude
your prayer time together by praying the Lord’s Prayer or by singing an appropriate hymn such as
“Jesus, Jesus,” “Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?” or “What Wondrous Love is This.”
