We often walk through Advent with our favorite Saints, and I have suggested a variety of Celtic Saints to provide adult inspiration during Lent. I try very hard to remember that there are fifty da…

Today is Palm Sunday, which means once again I ordered palms branches for all the kids at our church. Also, I gave them the little sheet above to show how to make a cross out of the long green palms. Here's Madison holding up a few of the crosses that she and I made this afternoon at the kitchen table. It was a very nice day - we all had a nice peanut butter and jelly sandwich dinner out on the back deck today, which was perfectly relaxing. That was the theme of the day: relaxing. Okay, at least for Daddy and Madison. Mommy spent much of the day making portions of gladiator costumes for the upcoming AD33 performance. The rest of the week, we'll all be at practice leading up to Easter Sunday (when we all get to take a deep breath). Until then, it'll be lots of time invested in preparation for the big day.
My Savior sweat blood, it was a blood that came from His heart. heart blood Drops fell like tears, shattering against stone, seeping into the cold night. I wish I had been there to catch the crimson. Blood more precious than gold. How much does a ransom for every human being that ever lived go for these days?

Roundup of activities and ideas for using the Montessori Silence Game at home or in the classroom to help children develop self-discipline; post includes variations of the Silence Game for a variety of ages.
I saw this game online by Michelle, Marnie, and Minette and thought it was so neat! It looked like so much fun and the kids would really enjoy it! Such a great learning tool for Lent too! The game is not posted online, but I got permission from them to expand upon it and post for others to use for free. Lentopoly is a game that is meant to incorporate the 3 aspects of Lent: prayer, fasting & almsgiving. By doing the charitable acts each day the child “earns” tokens (nails, pennies, beans, etc.). You can have a container full of tokens and each child has their own jar to put their ‘earned’ tokens into each day. On Easter the tokens are replaced with jelly beans or other candy/item of your choice. Parents can play too! If you decide to use money, you should decide what organization will get your money on Easter – your parish, pro-life group, rice bowl, etc. Everyone begins on the space marked “GO.” Each day of Lent, roll the dice & move the amount shown. If you complete the task indicated on the space, you receive a token. Whenever you pass or land on “GO” you receive 2 tokens. If you land on an “Extra Blessing” space & complete the task on the card you draw, you receive 2 tokens. If you land on an “Extra Sacrifice” space & complete the task on the card you draw, you receive 4 tokens. If you do not complete the task, you do not receive any tokens. Play the game each day from Ash Wednesday through Holy Saturday (you do not have to play on Sundays). On Easter, everyone wins! This game is free, however it is only to be used for classroom and personal use. It may not be published on any websites or other electronic media, or distributed in newsletters, bulletins, or any other form or sold for profit. Reproduction or retransmission of any materials, in whole or in part, in any manner, is not permitted.
