DCPp 17: Making Jesus the Center of Lent

Domestic Church Project Podcast

Welcome back to the DCP Podcast! Life has been NUTS for us lately, and we are working hard to get back into the swing of things right now. What is craziest of all is that we have yet to talk about Lent on the podcast (WHAT!), and so, it is time to do just that.

But first, let’s acknowledge something. We are a little over 2 weeks into Lent, but if you are like me, you likely had the wrong goals in mind with your Lenten resolutions. At the start of Lent I always see Lent as an opportunity to curb some bad habits…but that is NOT the point of Lent.

The point of Lent is simple: Jesus.

Everything that we do this Lent should be about making Christ MORE the center of our homes and our hearts. And so, if you are taking a minute to reevaluate your Lent (like we are), here are some ideas about making Jesus the Center of Lent…because there is still a lot of Lent left.

Ideas:

• Read the Daily Gospel as a Family

• Do the Jesus Tree! https://shop.catholicsprouts.com/collections/jesus-tree

• Watch the Chosen or Jesus of Nazareth

• Do a Family Adoration Hour

These are just a couple of ideas and we pray that they help you lead your family closer to Lent this year.

In Christ Jesus,

Nancy and Bill
