Our Lenten Journey---The Holy Heroes Stations of the Cross

I didn't want another day to pass without sharing some of the activities we are concentrating on during this Lenten season.
We have been working with our beautiful three part rosary cards, learning all the mysteries of the rosary. We also use these with the little children, so they have something to look at during the family rosary. The download for these beautiful cards can be found at The Bookworm.
Also, in the picture above, you can see the Holy Heroes Stations of the Cross CD and the accompanying coloring book-The Road to Calvary.
To put it mildly, I was amazed with this remarkable cd. My 3, 4, 8, and 10 year olds were mesmerized while we listened to this rendition of the Passion on Christ. We all took part in the prayers and it was a very moving experience, even for my teenagers.
Right now, Holy Heroes is offering a special price of $5.00 for the cd and coloring book, and considering the normal price of the cd and book is over $16.00, this is an amazing deal.

Several years ago I made a set of Stations of the Cross pictures. Simply laminated, they have lasted for years. I am sorry to say that I can't find the link to this pdf. file anymore.
We place these around the living room to make praying the Stations of the Cross more meaningful in our home.
The last two images of the Stations of the Cross end at our Stations votive candles.
And to provide full disclosure about the "real" truth of living with 10 people in a 960 square foot home, I give you this picture of our beautiful prayerful area of our living room...

God bless, and have a holy and blessed Lenten season.

Rosary Three Part Cards

Kathryn, at The Bookworm, has put together this absolutely beautiful set of three part Rosary cards for all 20 mysteries of the Rosary.
I printed them out this weekend and then laminated them.

I have decided to use them differently than the usual three part cards. I wanted the kids to learn to match each mystery with its picture, but I also want them to learn the order of each mystery. Because of my goal, I made control cards showing the proper picture and mystery, and also it shows the proper order of all five joyful mysteries etc.

We read about each of the Joyful Mysteries today, explaining them carefully and talking about the pictures, and then they went on to match their own set.

Hopefully, this will help instill a greater love and devotion to Our Blessed Mother and the Holy Rosary.
