Explain Holy Week to the Children
Sometimes the children can consider all these celebrations somewhat long and boring.
Try to incorporate the children as much as possible, and procure that they see all
actions well.
Celebration:
Converse with them about the different moments of these days.
• Holy Week: Tell the story about Jesus’ supper and how in his farewell to his
friends, Jesus wants to leave them a mission, to serve one another, which is symbolized in the washing of the feet. Explain to them the meaning of going to the
churches, as a reminder of the entire way that Jesus walked on this night, accompanied by his pain.
• Good Friday: Speak to the children about the Passion of Jesus and explain the
different scenes they are going to see on the Way of the Cross. Talk to them afterward, about how in the Church celebration we adore the cross in gratitude to Jesus for surrendering himself for us.
• Easter Vigil: There are many important symbols in the Easter Vigil. Speak to
them, especially about light and water.
Discipleship
•
Speak with the children about the things they want to do to demonstrate to Jesus
that they are grateful for everything he did for us. What services can be carried
out in the home without nobody remembering? How can they help others without
asking for a reward?
Pray
•
Teach the children the seven words that Jesus said on the cross.
Father, forgive them for they do not know what they do. Who do I wish to
forgive today?
Today you will be with in paradise. Jesus shows compassion for the thief who
repented. What would I like to ask for forgiveness today?
This is your Mother. This is your son. Jesus care for his mother until his final
moment. What can I do today for someone who cares for me?
I thirst. Jesus on the cross is thirsty that all know God and do good. What can I do
to somewhat ease the thirst of Christ.
My God, why have you forsaken me? Jesus feels very alone. How can I accompany him in this moment?
It is finished. Jesus has done what his father asked of him. How do I do the things
others ask of me, even if they are difficult?
Father, into our hands I commend my spirit. Jesus surrenders and trusts his Father. In whom do I trust?

Para Explicar a los -iños la Semana Santa
A veces a los i niños les pueden parecer todas estas celebraciones algo largos y
aburridas. Trate de incorporarlos a las celebraciones lo más posible, y procure que
pueden ver todas las acciones bien.
Celebración
Conversen sobre los distintos momentos de estos días:
• Jueves Santo: Cuente la historia de la cena de Jesús y cómo al despedirse de sus
amigos, Jesús quiere dejarles un encargo, que es el servicio de unos a otros simbolizado en el lavatorio de pies. Explique luego el sentido de ir por las iglesias, como
recuerdo de todo lo que caminó Jesús en esa noche, y como compañía en su dolor.
• Viernes Santo: Hábleles a los niños de la Pasión de Jesús y explica las diferentes
escenas que van a ver en el Vía Crucis. Hable luego de cómo, en la celebración en
la Iglesia, adoramos la cruz, por agradecimiento a Jesús que se entregó por nosotros.
• Vigilia Pascual: Hay muchos símbolos importantes en la Vigilia Pascual. Hábleles,
sobre todo, de la luz y el agua.
Seguimiento
•
Hable con los niños sobre cosas que quieren hacer par demostrar a Jesús que están
agradecidos por todo o que hizo por nosotros. ¿Qué servicios pueden hacer en la
casa sin esperar recompensa?
Orar
Enseñe a los niños las siete palabras que dijo Jesús en la cruz.
Padre, perdónalos, porque no saben lo que hacen. ¿A quién quiero perdonar yo hoy?
Hoy estarás conmigo en el paraíso. Jesús muestra compasión por el ladrón que se arrepiente. ¿De qué quiero pedir yo perdón hoy?
Ahí tienes a tu Madre. Ahí tienes a tu hijo. Jesús cuida de su mamá hasta el ultimo
momento. ¿Qué puedo hacer yo hoy por alguien que cuida de mí?
Tengo sed. Jesús en la cruz tiene sed de que todos conozcan a Dios y hagan el bien.
Qué puedo hacer yo para aliviar un poco la sed de Jesús?
Dios mío, ‘por qué me has abandonado? Jesús se siente muy solo. ¿Cómo puedo
acompañarle yo en este momento?
Todo está cumplido. Jesús ha hecho lo que Dios Padre le pidió. ¿Cómo hago yo las cosas que me piden, aunque sean difíciles?
En tus manos encomiendo mi espíritu. Jesús se entrega y confía en su Padre Dios. ¿En
quién confío yo?
