Education in Faith
As we find ourselves in the first week of Lent, it is time to prepare our hearts for the new life which Jesus brings at Easter. We begin this special time of the year with the tracing of the cross on our foreheads with the ashes. This helps us remember that we need to live our life like Jesus did, renewing the promises that we made at Baptism. Lent lasts for forty days, just as Jesus spent forty days in the desert before going out to share the good news. Talk with your child about somethings that can be done, on their own or maybe as a family, this Lent to be more like Jesus. It is a season of hope and new life!
