Lenten Resources
Lent is nearly upon us again. I am updating this post from last year since most of the resources are still available. I do enjoy adding a new book or two to our family’s Lenten resources, and this one is for me (I love Chesterton)
Additionally, I plan on using Catholic Mosaic‘s section on Lent that includes three books:
Catholic Mosaic also has 6 books used that are for Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Easter and Divine Mercy Sunday. It is a wonderful resource to help live more fully the liturgical year.
New links for 2010:
- Activities for Lent for Prek – K
- Activities for Lent for 1st and up
- Activities for Families from Catholic Culture
- 40 Ways to Get the Most Out of It (Crossroads Initiative)
- Faith and Family – 8 pages of articles including 40 Bags in 40 Daygs
- Operation Rice Bowl – Catholic Relief Services
I am including this at the top of the post – it looks to be quite a do-able reading plan for Lent taking only 10-15 minutes a day and at the end of Lent, you will have read from 10 Church Fathers. So, it’s not too late to catch up:
The overview from ChurchYear.Net
The PDF with all the readings in order
I am dashing around, so this is not a pretty post. I will reformat it when I have a bit more time, but I wanted to begin a list of Lenten Resources:
- Printable Pocket Size Stations of the Cross
- The Observance of Lent from Women for Faith and Family
- Embracing Lent as a Family
- Lent from ChurchYear.net
- Resources for Catholic Educators - Lent Page 1
- Lent is Coming has a great form to print for your older children
- Lenten Workshop (CatholicCulture.org)
- Teaching Catholic Kids from Our Sunday Visitor
- Lenten Activities for Children (CatholicMom)
- Stations of the Cross Coloring Book (pdf)
- Lenten Faith Folder (lapbook TM) – it is worth the money
