Prayer:

Stations of the Cross
The Stations of the Cross may be prayed at any time during the liturgical year, but during the season of Lent, the devotion holds a particular poignancy, as parishioners gather in their churches to meditate on the sufferings of Christ as He made his way to Calvary.

Miracles happen
Easter is the season of miracles. This is when we celebrate the miracle of all miracles, the rising of Jesus Christ from the dead, an event so enormous it changed the course of human history.
What better time to ask — what are miracles? How do they happen? Why do they happen?

As she walked down the aisle on that brisk fall morning in October 1950, gazing at her handsome groom through a thin gossamer veil, she had the same hopes as any other bride. They would make a home and a family and live a long and happy life together.

But that’s not what happened.

Complete makeover = Complete stewardship
When little girls talk about makeovers, its apt to be hairdos and cosmetics. Stewardship is generally the furthest thing from their minds. Still, a conversation about makeovers can be a great teaching moment.
