Lenten Planning 

Lent is a time where we are called to refocus & grow closer to God. Here is an exercise that can be done as a family to decide how you will live Lent. You can find the Lenten Planner in your Diving Deeper package. Click here & will find the PDF version

Lent Planner Instructions 

Here are some ideas that will help you plan for Lent this year. Feel free to come up with your own ideas.  

Praying :

For example: 

1.  Say Grace as a family before supper 
2. You can thank God in prayer for one thing that happened that day before going to bed as a family. Creating a prayer journal of gratitude can also be a similar option.
3. Older children can say a decade of rosary everyday
4. Reading a children’s bible story every night. 
   

 Fasting:

1. You can make a sacrifice and give up something that you enjoy doing, ex: playing video games or using a certain social media platform 
2. You can give up something that you like to eat, such as chips, candies, or chocolate
   

Almsgiving/Service

1. Children can take on tasks to be done around the house. Taking on tasks they do not usually do that is age appropriate (I.e rendering a service to the family e.g. picking up toys, setting the table for dinner, making their bed etc.).
2. Render a service to an elderly family member e.g. Calling a grandparent once a week.
3. Make a donation for non-perishable food items to the Food Bank at church.
