With Lent right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about how we’re going to celebrate it in our little domestic church. The birth of Little One is right in the middle (well, almost) of Lent; so that kind of puts things into a whole new perspective. The biggest question I would like answered is “How does God want me to celebrate this Lent?” What can I do – or not do – that will fill my life with God and thus draw closer to Him?
I have a couple of ideas rolling around in my head, but nothing definite yet.
I plan on looking through The Catholic Home by Meredith Gould and browsing Catholic Cuisine for some food ideas. Looking back, our Advent was very fruitful; even if Elise didn’t “get it” totally. I’m not expecting her to “get” Lent either; but all the activities and foods can help her start to realize that hey, something different is happening. And of course, give us adults that reminder as well.
