Bringing Lent Home With Mother Teresa: Prayers, Reflections, and Activities for Families

Bringing Lent Home With Mother Teresa: Prayers, Reflections, and Activities for Families by O'Boyle, Donna-Marie Cooper. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781594712869.

Popular author and EWTN host Donna-Marie Cooper OBoyle presents a daily devotional companion for families with young children. She illustrates how to bring Lent home, doing "small things with great love" under the guidance of the Blessed Mother Teresa, with whom she enjoyed a close friendship. While many Lenten reflection booklets are designed for individuals or small groups, this one is formatted specifically for families and draws on the wisdom of Blessed Mother Teresa. This daily guide shows parents and children alike how to put her words into practice with practical suggestions on how to live the threefold call of Lent: to fast, pray, and care the poor. Each Sundays focus is drawn from the themes assigned to that Sunday of Lent and a project for the week ahead is suggested. Usable during all three Catholic lectionary cycles.
