Ideas for simple things to do during Lent

• Say the Divine Mercy Chaplet prayer, “For the sake of his sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and the whole world;” during commercials, when waiting in traffic, or on kids at school,
• Add Amen, Laudate, and Rosary apps to your phone. Check out websites for Lenten ideas. 
• Fast from social media or reduce screen time, using the extra time to connect with God and your family.
• Pick up a booklet or holy card from the back of the church to guide your family through Lent.
• Attend a weekday Mass as a family. This can bring you closer and provide additional spiritual nourishment.

• Set up a prayer corner in your home with a crucifix, candles, and religious images to create a sacred space for reflection and prayer.
• Give up a favorite treat or activity and offer the sacrifice for a specific intention or loved one.
