Book Review - Bringing Lent Home With St. John Paul II - Prayers, Reflections and Activities for Families



Don’t begin Lent without this book!

When was the last time, you journeyed through Lent as a family? Have you ever suggested praying, fasting and giving alms together?  Don’t think your family has the time to do these things?  Not sure how to begin?

You are probably no different from countless other Catholic families who want to more fully live out their Faith but sometimes feel the demands on their time render it impossible to do so. But you can make next Lent a special and blessed experience for you and your entire family.

How? Get a copy of Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle’s most recent family Lenten prayer aid, Bringing Lent Home with St. John Paul II – Prayers, Reflections and Activities for Families.

Drawing from the wisdom and life of St. John Paul II, Donna-Marie sets forth an easy to follow daily plan that allows every member to grow in their Faith and better grasp the real meaning of Lent. You will come to appreciate the joy and grace that flows from fasting and almsgiving.  The author provides clear and concrete “how to” suggestions.

I was privileged and blessed to read Bringing Lent Home with St. John Paul II – Prayers, Reflections and Activities for Families. You and your family will be too.

There is much in this powerful book that I intend to ponder at greater length this Lent. I highly recommend that you get your copies now. I have no doubt God will use this little gem to touch the hearts, stir the souls and re-ignite the Faith of all those who journey through Lent with it.

PRAYER TO BE PRESERVED FROM SUDDEN DEATH

MOST AMIABLE JESUS "I humbly implore Thee by Thy ignominious Scourging, The Crowning with Thorns, Thy Holy Cross, and by all Thy Goodness, not to permit me to pass out of this world without having received Thy most holy Sacraments." -Prayer of St. Vincent Ferrer

PRAYER OF ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA

"Eternal Father, all things are possible for You. Although You created us without our assistance, You will not save us unless we help. Therefore, I pray You re-create their wills so that they wish for what they do not wish for: I ask this of Your infinite mercy. You have created us out of nothing. Now that we exist have mercy on us. Re-make the vessel which You created in Your own image and likeness. Bring them back to Your grace through the grace and blood of You Son, the beloved Jesus Christ."
