From a mom of 7, this is the (short) Lent Companion that every (tired) Catholic Parent Needs
"My mom friends and I always talk about how fasting days in Lent often become 'yelling at kids' days," writes author Maria Morrow. Truer words have never been spoken!
Balancing the seriousness of the Lenten season with the everyday responsibilities of parenthood can be difficult to navigate. After spending one Lent heavily pregnant (with a due date on Easter Monday!), Morrow realized that she needed a practical approach to having a prayerful Lent that supported--rather than conflicted--with her calling as a mom.
In this evergreen Lenten companion, find practical daily readings and prayers written by a busy mom, for busy parents.
Each day, you'll find:
- A theme for the week
- A brief reflection based on the daily Mass readings - a 5-minute read
- Questions for journaling or meditation
- A one-line aspirational prayer
- And a quick and easy Catholic practice to sanctify the rest of your day
For a further companion for busy parents beyond Lent, check out the Prayer Book for Tired Parents!
