LENTEN FAMILY CALENDAR SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY Ash Wednesday Attend an Ash Wednesday Mass or prayer service today. As a family, research and select a charity that you will support during Lent. Fast from taking second helpings at meals. Take over a disliked chore for a family member. First Sunday Attend Mass often. The Eucharist is our greatest communal prayer and a surefire way to encounter Jesus. Pray with your family at mealtime. Make a point of praying for people in need. At bedtime, pray for people who are homeless and sleeping on the streets tonight. Be more courteous in your attitude, words, and deeds. Make a list of ten things you are grateful for in your life. Fast from criticizing others aloud or silently in your mind. Seek to understand instead. Pray while creating a piece of artwork. Do something creative, and do so for the glory of God. Second Sunday Forego a favorite TV program for a week. Go through your closets and donate usable clothing and household goods to a local charity. Pay attention to someone you are tempted to brush aside. Fast from gossip. Pray at the sound of sirens from emergency vehicles. Pray for the people who might be in trouble. Fast from e-mail, text messaging, or both for a day. Speak less and listen more. Give others the gift of your undivided attention. Third Sunday Pray while you go for a walk. Fast from overscheduling your time. Leave some time to simply be. Curtail your extra spending and donate what you save to your chosen charity. At the end of the day, take time to thank God for all the graces you received during the day. Pray the Rosary or other traditional prayers of the Church. Realize that you are joining your voice to millions of others who have prayed these prayers through the years. Fast from the habit, substance, practice, or mindset that most stands in the way of your growing closer to God. While grocery shopping, purchase an additional day s supply of food and drop it off at a local food pantry. www.loyolapress.com
LENTEN FAMILY CALENDAR SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY Fourth Sunday During prayer, picture yourself meeting Jesus in a scene from the Gospels. Imagine your reaction and response. Send a greeting card or a letter to a relative, friend, or fellow parishioner who is homebound. Fast from eating food mindlessly, that is, from not even bothering to taste it. Clean up a common area at work, in the neighborhood, or at home. Do it as a gift for the good of all. Invite a widowed neighbor to join your family for a meal. Fast from worrying. Trust God instead. Plant a tree that will benefit future generations. Fifth Sunday Pray for the willingness to seek forgiveness from people you have hurt. Fast from light. Sit by the light of one candle in your home. Remember that Jesus has called you to be a light for the world. Make a prayer out of performing a loving action for others.

When you see or hear a news story about someone in trouble, pray for the person as a family. Fast from hitting the snooze alarm. Get up and use the extra time for prayer.
