Did I say I am ready for Lent? Yes, I am. I've been "practicing" my Lenten fast(s) for a while. As I wrote last year, it's hard for me to go from feast to fast between Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. Cold turkey for me is always a recipe for failure.
So here we are, three days before Lent and I am so ready for the hush. As always, I will be off Facebook but don't worry this blog will be open as much as the writing muse will allow.
Let me share a couple of favorite resources today then I will continue to write about the rest of our Lent plans tomorrow. You will be familiar with some of these, if not all.

this is not your average Stations of The Cross for kids, the language is not watered or dumb down. It moves the hearts of readers over here, young and old alike.
The Miracle Maker |
 |
| a beautifully-made animated movie about the life of Christ |
|

 |
| these posters are large and beautiful I make sure to line them up on the wall within reading height |
 |
| this app is packed! - from prayers to Scripture to Papal Encyclicals, if it's Catholic it is most likely there. The prayer section alone is a gem, you will never run out of novenas and devotions and best of all, it's free |
 |
| Liturgy of the Hours app - I am committed to praying at least one of the Hours each day, it's my favorite "me" time before the kids wake up in the morning |
 |
| another Liturgy of the Hours app, this one isn't free but you can also read it on the website - http://divineoffice.org/ |
Okay, gotta catch the rest of our Lord the Rings marathon! More tomorrow. Happy Sunday.
Great resources! I love that Laudate app!
ReplyDeleteMy kids couldn't believe that there are so many Catholic prayers (on Laudate). We love it but it would have been better if the text could be made bigger. I have it on a kindle, I wonder what it looks like on another tablet or on a smartphone.
