PRAY!
Prayer is one of the Pillars of Lent! This Lenten season, improve your prayer life with these simple ideas:
- Try to start every morning with a prayer. Pray with your children before they fall asleep.
- Add some time for silent prayer and reflection into your day.
- Try to pray the Rosary or the chaplet of Divine Mercy every day of Lent
- Try lectio divina. Open a Bible or a Bible app and spend some time prayerfully reading and meditating on even just one verse of scripture.
- Make your way through one of the four Gospels during Lent by reading and reflecting on the message each day.
- Attend daily Mass.
- Create a jar of intentions. Add a new one every day to pray with your family. (pray for your neighbors, our leaders, your priest, frontline workers, grocery clerks, teachers...there are so many who need our prayers!
- Make sure your family says grace at every meal. If it hasn't been your habit, it will become one by the end of Lent!
- Pray the stations of the Cross. This beautiful prayer can be prayed all year but you’ll find it available to be prayed with a group at almost every parish on Lenten Fridays
- Try this PRAYER by Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta
