Consider Adoration
-
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14
Adoration is an important part of our faith journey. It is a quiet time to be with the Lord and reflect and meditate with Him. There are so few quiet times and places in our lives today, and it is good for you, body and soul. Meditation can reduce stress, promote emotional health, increase positive feelings, and lengthen attention span!
This video explains what Adoration is and why you should visit Him! -

Don’t be intimidated by Adoration. Come for five, fifteen, or 30 minutes. As parents you know how long to stay with your family.
Lent is a great time to introduce Adoration to your family and literally be with Jesus on our 40 day journey.

Consider the Stations of the Cross
-
After Jesus died and rose from the dead many of the first Catholics made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to walk the path He walked on Good Friday. This pilgrimage became what we now know today as the Stations of the Cross.
On Fridays during Lent we walk the 14-station devotion commemorating Jesus’ last day on Earth. Friday Stations of the Cross are a great way to come together as a community and walk the path Jesus walked.
This year during Lent, Stations of the Cross are Fridays in the Church at 5:30 (English) and 7pm (Spanish). Check out the Sacred Heart Church YouTube channel to stream the stations.

Consider the Rosary
-
-
Have you ever wanted to pray the Rosary and thought, “I don’t have time’ or ‘My family does not have the attention span.’ Don’t despair here are a few things to try.
The Color As You Go Rosary is a great way to introduce this prayer meditation. Color each bead as you complete a prayer in the Rosary. Even if you only say a few prayers a day, your family can chart your progress through the Rosary. Post it on the refrigerator or at your prayer space. Celebrate when the Rosary is completed!
