Lent
Lent is an important season that we use as a time to become closer to God.It’s a time to remove distractions and to sharpen our focus so that we might better know God’s ways and become more loving in the world, on the job, and in our own homes, far beyond the 40 days of Lent.We focus on growing closer to God through PRAYER, FASTING and GIVING. Although it seems like a very adult thing to celebrate, it is possible to make Lent meaningful for children.
As a family, use the suggestions below to discuss ways with your child to PRAY, FAST or GIVE in order to grow closer to God this Lent.
Prayer for Lent
Dear God,
Thank You that You are loving and forgiving.
Help us to love people in the same way as You have loved us.
Help us do generous things for others because we love You.
Amen
