Keep Love in Lent
"I’m participating in the Keeping LOVE in LENT Blog Link-Up 2013, hosted by
Raising (& Teaching) Little Saints, Truly Rich Mom and Arma Dei: Equipping Catholic Families. We'll be sharing different ways, tips, stories and real-life experiences that will help us focus on Lenten sacrifices, prayer and good deeds, and how to carry them out with LOVE instead of a GRUMBLE. Please scroll down to the end of the post to see the list of link-up entries.”
Making it personal to Love Him.
I feel the call this lent to make it as personal and real to live out Christ's love for us. It is also the first time in my whole life that I have done a fast and I have finally learn to offer it together with love for others, love for Holy Father and Priest and Love for the Church. (pray&fast)

We are going to try to put together a Live Station of the Cross for the kids with the homeschooling group.
We started to meet on Fridays, to do a Holy Hour for Repartion for Boys and Girls . I was just taken by how profound this is for the kids and myself. I felt such love for Him at church when we were doing this for watching the children love Him and listening to their voices asking for reparation for our sins and the whole world.
Love is so real , Love is Christ!
After searching for the right script for a Live Stations of the Cross, I found this great book:
A Children's Play of the Station of the Cross (here are some sample pages) . I like how it is simple and she also gives you ideas how to stage it, easy costumes, and how you can adapt it to your group's needs.
How do we really make it real for them, personal for them, so that They can truly feel and know His Love?

BTW- I love your header picture . . . your kids are so cute!
Congrats on your successful fasting! It's hard to deny ourselves because we have so much! It's counter intuitive to our society. We want more and more...never satisfied. Not the way of Jesus at all! Praise God that He's instituted Lent through Holy Mother Church, or else we'd all fall by the wayside!!
May God bless His church and raise up holy men and women to keep our faith strong!
I've wanted to do a really good fast for Lent for a couple of years. Today I was listening to Relevant Radio and the host, Drew Mariani, was talking about how fasting really awakens you on a new level to the spiritual. Although I give up meat on Fridays and Wednesdays, I feel called to do more.
My son's school does a Living Stations of the Cross. It is so meaningful to the kids who participate and to all the people who attend. What a wonderful idea to put on a Living Stations with your homeschool group! I wish we had a Catholic homeschool group in this area; I know my daughter would love doing it.
Wishing you a meaningful Lenten season.
