Have you established a “rhythm” of prayer in your home?
Praying together as a family is essential, according to Nancy of Catholic Sprouts. “You need this, your kids need this, the world needs this,” she writes. So, how?
Gather everyone together before bed. Make the Sign of the Cross. Read from a devotional, like the Little Black Book, your family will be able to pick up soon, or watch an age appropriate video on Formed. Ask everyone to recount their blessings. Examine your consciences.  Offer any additional prayers. (Copies of The Catholic Devotional are available at all worship sites.)
Lent is a perfect time to begin, if you don’t already have an established prayer time. A habit done over 40 days is likely to continue.  Come Holt Spirit.

Author, songwriter and evangelist Chris Bray reminds us that evangelization begins when we live in such a way that people start wondering, “What do they have that I don’t?”

Reflecting that Lent is a time for Mercy and looking ahead to Divine Mercy Sunday (4/12), Bishop Thomas, chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on Pro-Life Activities, shared a message for those suffering after participating in abortion.  View the short video of women’s testimonies who found forgiveness and healing from the hidden wounds of abortion with the help of Project Rachel Ministry
