Bringing Lent Home with Mother Teresa: Prayers, Reflections, and Activities for Families
"Mom Donna" and Mother Teresa are both helpful Lenten companions, offering encouragement and creative ideas for family prayer, fasting, and almsgiving throughout this holy season. Though we already have loads of Lenten traditions in our family, I always take something new away from Donna-Marie's books. I love the "Reflections for Parents" in this book, as well as the stories from Mother Teresa's life.~Karen Edmisten, Author ofAfter Miscarriage"Can you imagine spending Lent with Mother Teresa? A chance of a lifetime! Donna-Marie's book will do that exactly for you. Enjoy!"--Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, C.F.R."Hand-in-hand with her spiritual mentor Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, Donna-Marie provides timeless wisdom, practical and yet meaningful fasting and almsgiving opportunities, and prayers that will be cherished by your family. Give yourselves the gift of a Lenten path that will have you truly savoring the season and glorying in the Easter miracle together."--Lisa M. Hendey, Founder of CatholicMom.com and author ofA Book of Saints for Catholic Moms"What a superb resource for families. For the first time in my life, I can't wait for Lent!"--Lisa Mladinich, Author ofBe an Amazing Catechist: Inspire the Faith of Children"Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle's personal and profound reflections on Mother Teresa highlight the countercultural idea that sacrifice and prayer will make you more joyful and more fully human." --Tony Rossi, Host and Producer, The Christophers
