Lent

For the three pillars of Lent, this year our family will be doing:

Pray:

-We will be using this Welcome Risen Jesus: Lent and Easter Reflections for Families

 as a family each day.

-At Christmas we created a designated spot for our Rosaries.  A goal is to pray the rosary as a family after dinner each evening before the kids go into the bath.

-Additional prayer for DH and I.  DH has his own plans. I will be continuing to pray morning prayer before the girls get up, reading from Casti Connubii and Consoling the Heart of Jesus: A Do-It-Yourself Retreat- Inspired by the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius

Fast:

-Meatless Meals each Wednesday and Friday.


-Additional fast for DH and I.

Almsgiving:

-We are doing a Lenten Cleaning Project (based on this list) and the items collected will be donated to our local Goodwill.

-Planning very simple menu's for Lent will lead to extra money in the grocery budget which is getting collected to donate to a local food pantry.
