Welcome to Project Nazareth! 
​Each week we will post the current weekly tool kit here for your convenience.

6th Sunday of Easter
Because Jesus loves us and wants us to have complete joy, He told us how to attain it. In this week’s Gospel, He tells us that the way to complete joy is obedience to the commandments. Jesus was talking about the Ten Commandments, or Decalogue, that Moses received on Mount Sinai. He also issued a new commandment to love one another as He loves us. Keeping the commandments keeps us close to God, the source of all true joy.
Easter - Week 6 toolkit

5th Sunday of Easter
At baptism, we become united to Christ much like a branch is connected to a vine. Through Christ, the True Vine, we can do all things; without Him, we can do nothing. By frequent reception of the sacraments, we remain united to the True Vine, Jesus, and seek to bear fruit for Him in the world.
Easter - Week 5 toolkit

4th Sunday of Easter
Jesus is the Good Shepherd, who laid down His life for us on the cross and resurrected to give us new life. He is also the One, who, during His public life, taught us how to love. Like a shepherd does for his sheep, Jesus calls us by name, is concerned for us, listens to us, looks for us when we get far from Him, and knows each one of us individually.
This is our Good Shepherd, the One who has the greatest love for us and continues this mission through
His leaders in the Church — bishops and priests
Easter - Week 4 toolkit

​3rd Sunday of Easter
Jesus’ Resurrection and appearance to His disciples, among them the apostles and Mary Magdalene, fulfills the promise of the prophets of the Old Testament: the Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day. The disciples’ expectations of the Messiah were based on a human way of thinking, but Jesus’ Resurrection and glory overcame all their human expectations and opened the gates of heaven for us.
Easter - Week 3 toolkit

Holy Week
As Catholics, Holy Week represents the summit of our faith. During this week we celebrate the mystery of Christ’s passion and resurrection, when He died to save us from our sins and resurrected, giving us hope for a new life!
Palm Sunday and Easter toolkit

​4th Sunday of Lent
This Sunday, the 4th Sunday in Lent is also known as "Laetare Sunday."  The word Laetare means "rejoice" in Latin.  As we continue to prepare our hearts to celebrate Easter, we rejoice that God loves us so much that He came into the world to die so that if we believe in Him, we might be saved and have eternal life.  
Lent - Week 4 toolkit

​3rd Sunday of Lent
Before the Passover feast, we find Jesus using the temple in Jerusalem and the words of the prophets from the Old Testament to teach the people a lesson about who He is - the Son of God.  He tries to teach them that the temple is God's house, and they should respect it, but they did not listen to him.  This upsets Jesus, and He tells them that He will tear down the temple and rebuild it in three days.  When Jesus says this to them, He is speaking about Himself in a symbolic way, because He is the temple of the Lord.  He will die (be 'destroyed') and then resurrect (be 'raised up') on the third day.  Because God created us, our bodies are also temples of the Lord, and we should treat them with love and respect, too.
Lent - Week 3 toolkit

​2nd Sunday of Lent
This week’s Gospel focuses on the Transfiguration of Jesus before his disciples, Peter, James and John. After climbing the mountain, Jesus’ appearance becomes transformed, or changed, before their eyes. His clothes appear “dazzling white” and the prophets, Elijah and Moses, appeared with Him. Then, they hear the voice of God instructing them to listen to Jesus, His “beloved Son.” Peter, James, and John were amazed at this sight and, because of this experience, their faith was strengthened.
Lent - Week 2 toolkit

1st Sunday of Lent
Jesus spent forty days and nights alone with God, the Father, to prepare to teach God’s people and save them from sin. Like Jesus, we prepare for Easter by spending the season of Lent praying, which is also forty day, serving others and offering small sacrifices to God in thanksgiving for Jesus. We begin our Lenten journey on Ash Wednesday and end it with the Easter Triduum. Lent is an opportunity for us to grow closer to Jesus and become more like Him.

6th Week in Ordinary Time
Jesus shows the Kingdom of God is about love and compassion for all people, no matter what in this week's Gospel.
Ordinary Time - Week 6 toolkit

5th Week in Ordinary Time 
This week we continue to hear how Jesus proclaimed the Kingdom of God as a reality right now.  Jesus makes the Kingdom of God present through His words (parables) and also through His actions (miracles).  The healing Jesus brings goes beyond simple physical healing: it is also spiritual though the forgiveness of sin.  It is important to remember that Jesus was a real person and his ministry was focused on the towns and villages in the Galilee region of the Holy Land, which is today located in the nation of Israel.  

Ordinary Time - Week 5 toolkit

4th Week in Ordinary Time 
In this week's toolkit, we find Jesus in front of the crowd teaching about scripture.  The crowd was surprised to hear Jesus speak with such authority.  After preaching, Jesus shocked the crowd again when he commands an evil spirit to come out of a man.  These actions and more made Jesus well known throughout the land. 
 Some people began to believe that He really was God.

Ordinary Time - Week 4 toolkit

3rd Week in Ordinary Time
The heart of Jesus’ teaching is about the Kingdom of God. We start to ponder the Kingdom of God and how
​ Jesus teaches about it through word and deed.
Ordinary Time - Week 3 toolkit

2nd Week in Ordinary Time
The liturgical season of Ordinary Time may seem, well, a little ordinary but that is what life is composed of: ordinary moments. It is in ordinary time that we imitate the Holy Family in doing the daily tasks of life for God and our family,
with all its joys and challenges.
