Living Lent: Family Prayer

/in /by

During this Lenten season, we would like to take the opportunity to offer our families some ideas that can help spark conversations and strengthen the spirituality of your household.

Each week of Lent, we are offering a Scripture passage, Lenten quotation, or prayer activity for your family to share together. We hope these suggestions will enrich your family’s journey through Lent, ending in a more blessed and joyful Easter.

FAMILY PRAYER

Here is a Lenten Prayer from Pope Francis: http://www.allsaintspress.com/images/products/3051.jpg

For a Living Lent activity this week, work together to write a Lenten prayer that is meaningful to your family.  Try to pray it together each day this week, or even for the remainder of Lent.  You could decorate and hang it on your fridge!

Prizes will be awarded to students in the weeks to come (some prizes may be mailed to student’s homes, some may come to the school depending on how the student registered).
