To Parents and Catechists: Lead the children to see that during Lent we can nurture our friendship with Jesus through prayer and kindness to others. Have the children make up their own movements to act out each part of the growing in friendship prayer. You might want to invite older children to help in a real planting.

We Celebrate Lent

Listen to God's Word
I pray that your friendship with Jesus will keep on growing.
From Philippians 1:9

Pray in Your Heart
Jesus, help our friendship grow.

Listen to God's Word
Jesus says, "You are my friends if you love one another, just as I love you."
From John 15:12, 14

Think about these words of Jesus.

My Prayer Goes On
On each day of Lent:

  • I will pray to Jesus, my friend.
  • I will try to do a kind act for someone.
