I always start the season of Lent with big ambitions- often too many ambitions to be honest with you! (Soup for Lent, anyone?) Last year I realized that what we really needed was something to help us stay focused on the core components of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving while drawing us closer together as a family.
We needed a study that is easy to grab and go- without too much prep work or clean up. Something that would bring us closer to God and to each other.
Too good to be true, right?!
Wrong!
This year I put together a resource that will help us all do just that. MISSION: FAMILY Lent Edition is a six week walk through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as a family.
Following a similar format to my book, MISSION: FAMILY, A Journal to Help Catholic Families, each weekly study includes an opening prayer (PRAY), a family activity (PLAY), a discussion section (TALK ABOUT IT), and a weekly challenge (BEFORE YOU GO). The weekly challenges will help your family learn more about your community while practicing the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
(Read more about sharing the corporal works of mercy with your kids through picture books!)
The question is, can one night of family study each week really transform your Lent?
I believe it can. And I’m so convinced that I put all of the lesson plans, activities, discussion questions, and prayers into one place and made it availabe through the Catholic Mom Bundle this year in order to make it available to as many families as possible. The study activities are prefect for a family of any size with a range of ages!
Give up more than sweets this year!
I am so excited to join the Catholic Mom Bundle Lent 2020. 12 of the 24 products are designed to help you live an intentional Lenten season. To pray and play with a plan.

There are even more workbooks, printables, and courses in the Catholic Mom Bundle. Ordinarily everything would cost $333. That’s a good chunk of change! But for 5 days we’re selling all our products as a bundle for only $25.
So this year make a plan. Grab the bundle before it disappears and choose the products that are going to keep you focused on what really matters this Lenten season. (I’m super excited about the Walking Holy Week Prayer Journal and the Mentors of Mercy are a great supplement to Mission Three!)
But don’t wait too long. It’s only on sale from Monday, February 10- Friday, February 14th. Then you will have to purchase each of these items individually without the chance to compare them side by side when you buy the whole bundle!
