The mysteries of the Rosary help us to reflect on the life of Jesus and Mary and how we can become more faithful followers of Jesus. My best to you and your 6 yo!

My 6 yo and I are learning to say the Rosary together, and I'm also saying prayers and different intervals during the day. It's a great way to center yourself. As a family we are using this daily calender to do and discuss http://www.transporter.com/fatherpeffley/Doctrine/LentenCalendar.html (it was posted at a website once ;-) ) The webiste Lauretta posted looks interesting, too. Thanks for that :-) Ali I, too, am dedicating myself to prayer this Lent. My 6 yo and I are learning to say the Rosary together, and I’m also saying prayers and different intervals during the day.

I have decided that this Lent, I will let God be the director...to keep myself open to where He leads and to listen for His words in my classroom. I learn alot from my students. Next week I am challenging them to a discussion: "Lent is the Spring Training of the Soul." I started this Lent with a retreat weekend.

Since I'm on the computer quite a bit during the day, it's actually pretty easy to do this quick Ignatian spiritual exercise.
