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<\/em>, 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.<\/p>\n

I’ve suggested this in my book and I am tickled to see it carried out by Katie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Katie’s daughter Lillian helped by writing the prayer.<\/p><\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

In case you’d like to listen in, here’s my visit with Teresa Tomeo<\/a> on Catholic Connection chatting about families and Lent.<\/p>\n

Please feel free to share your ideas for your Lenten journey in the comments below. I’d love to hear them! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
