ACTIVITY
Walk with Jesus through the Stations of the Cross
Traditionally during Lent people pray the stations of the cross on Friday's. This is a special, sacred prayer because we journey with Jesus on the way to the cross. Make plans with your family to participate in Stations of the Cross at your local parish on Fridays.
Take time this week to do the Stations of the Cross activity to help you remember each station including the symbols.

ACTIVITY
Activity: Loving and unloving choices game
Print and play the loving and unloving choices game. Lay out all the cards on the table with the words faced down. Take turns choosing a card, read the action and tell if it is a loving or unloving action. Remind one another that we are made good and made to be good. When we make loving actions we have the eyes of our heart on Jesus and we are being our best selves.
