| To Parents and Catechists: This week's resource is a short prayer service to help children commemorate the beginning of Lent. The activity also has a sample of a Lenten calendar on which children would mark their spiritual journey during this holy season. Explain how to use such a calendar, asking the youngsters for examples. Encourage them to make their own Lenten calendar and then fill it in everyday. |
We Celebrate Lent
Listen to God's Word
Listen! This is the time to receive God's blessings. It is the time to be saved!
From 2 Corinthians 6:2
Listen to God's Word
Jesus went into the desert for forty days. He went there alone to prepare
for his mission of teaching and healing. After Jesus left the desert,
he told people, "A special time has come. It is a time to change your
lives and believe the Good News of God's Kingdom of love." From
Mark 1:12-15
Talk to Jesus
Tell Jesus why Lent is a special time for you.
My Prayer Goes On
The calendar will help you make Lent a special time. Read the words next to each week of Lent. Each word is a hint for what you can do that week. Put a cross on each day you have done something special for Jesus.
