Reflection: “There is no salvation through anyone else,
nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we
are saved.” Could we ask for a more
clear reminder as to why Easter is the high point of the Church year? Could we ask for any more explanation for why
we follow God and trust in His will? All
that we have and all that we hope to one day have in heaven comes to us through
the love and saving grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. “The stone rejected by the builders has
become the cornerstone.” Let us rejoice
and be glad!
Reflection
for younger saints:
Jesus’ death and resurrection means we can join Him in heaven one
day. Our life in heaven will be filled
with joy and happiness. This is why
Easter is such a joyful celebration.

Discussion
Starters:
Younger saints: What does the word salvation mean? Who provided us with our salvation?
Older saints: Reflect on the statement “there is no salvation through anyone else.” Are you living your life as if Jesus is your source of salvation and happiness? Or are you focused on and living for something or someone else?

Fact: The Apostles
Creed teaches us the chief truths that were taught by Jesus (St. Joseph’s
Baltimore Catechism No. 1, 2008, p. 13).
