One mom I know is doing this for Lent. Each day, drawing from the tips, advice, and encouragement in my new book Bringing Lent Home with St. John Paul II, she makes her family’s fasting, prayer, and almsgiving more tangible by writing it down for them to see. It’s a great reminder to all.
I’ve suggested this in my book and I am tickled to see it carried out by Katie.
and this:
Katie’s daughter Lillian helped by writing the prayer.
What ways can you be mindful of the holy season of Lent in your family? It’s not too late to initiate some ideas and put them into place. We are just beginning on our journey.
In case you’d like to listen in, here’s my visit with Teresa Tomeo on Catholic Connection chatting about families and Lent.
Please feel free to share your ideas for your Lenten journey in the comments below. I’d love to hear them! 🙂
This is such a wonderful idea. I would like to do the same. Put them into writing, hang them on the Fridge for the kids who are around
. And here, too, on Facebook, to tag to my grandkids who live far.
I am excited to do this. NOW!
Thank you, Donna-Marie, for your inspiration. <3
That’s great, Nancy! I’m glad you are spreading the inspiration and Church teaching to your family and beyond. May God continue to bless you!
Be kinder to my loved one and find out what they realy need from me and do it with love.
That’s a wonderful Lenten resolution, Mary! May God continue to bless you!
We’re off to a good start for Lent, but still have lots to do and lots of growing yet to happen! So thankful for these opportunities to grow and bond together as a family! Thank you, Donna, for adding to our Lenten journey!
It’s great that you are off to a good start Katie. Yes, let’s hope and pray that there will be a lot of growing this Lent for everyone! 🙂 May God thoroughly bless your domestic church!
