Today begins our 40 days of fasting, prayer and almsgiving in preparation for the celebration of Easter.
Last night we had a Shrove Tuesday/ Mardi Gras celebration of sourdough chocolate chip pancakes which the boys said tasted great! And, unbelievable as it seems, I think their bellies were full!
Later this afternoon, after the two older boys return from serving Mass at the Sisters', we will be working on making a salt dough crown of thorns and putting together the the family altar. I'm hoping to have a purposeful Lent this year.
With academics running smoothly and the boys done with most of their work by 1:00, I'd like to begin to use the afternoon time to focus more on the Liturgical Year.
