Everest Academy Lemont Blog

I hope your Holy Week and Easter were full of joy and blessings! The Easter season is marked in particular by the joy of the Risen Christ. This month we will be helping our students combine that joy with a very important virtue that Jesus lived, obedience. It was through obedience to the Father’s will that Jesus Christ redeemed mankind, so this is a virtue of supreme importance in our Christian lives, as well as in our families! Hopefully, we can team work throughout this month to help each of our students realize the importance of joyful obedience, both at school and at home. As a means to help the students better understand this virtue, ideas of how to live joyful obedience will be posted on the wall. Each time they live joyful obedience they will uncover part of the risen Jesus standing outside the empty tomb, reminding them that the joy of Easter should characterize our obedience. I invite each one of us to also reflect on the example of Jesus’ obedience to the Father’s plan, and on the joy that should characterize us. Obedience is virtue that all of us, as children of God, are constantly striving towards. May the Risen Lord fill you with joy and peace! God Bless! Miss Kate Jamicky
