No matter what, YOU are your children’s most influential teacher in the Catholic faith. You and your spouse teach them 24/7. When we as parents take our prayer life seriously, our children watch and notice.
 
This is a great way you can gather the whole family around the kitchen table and lead them in prayer. It won’t be perfect, they will get distracted and off track (probably), but you are making memories. So hopefully, make fun and enjoyable ones together!
 
I pray this mini-retreat becomes a yearly encounter to set your family’s tone for the Lenten season. Make some cocoa, bake some cookies, get out the craft supplies and start talking about how important Jesus is in your life. Share with your children all the good things he has done. Prepare your hearts and theirs for the coming of the best gift we could ever imagine: life from death, the Resurrection at Easter
