Jude Winkler, OFM. Conv. helps children understand the holy season of Lent, the time of preparation for Jesus' Resurrection on Easter Sunday. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Lent is a special time in the Catholic Church that helps us get ready and prepare spiritually for Easter, the day we celebrate Jesus' resurrection from the dead. Lent lasts for 40 days and begins on Ash Wednesday. It is a time for us to think about how much Jesus loves us and how He gave His life to save us from sin. We have opportunities to detach from worldly things to attach ourselves more firmly to God. \u003cbr\u003e During Lent, we try to grow closer to God by praying more, doing kind things for others, and giving up something we like or enjoy. This is called sacrifice, and it helps us remember the sacrifices Jesus made for us. People often give up treats like candy or screen time, or they might choose to help others more by doing chores or being extra kind. Throughout this beautifully illustrated book, your child will learn about fating, prayer and the Stations of the Cross among other Lenten practices. \u003cbr\u003e One of the important parts of Lent is fasting. On Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, Catholics 14 years and older eat smaller meals and avoid eating meat as a way to practice self-control and to feel a little bit of the hunger that many people in the world experience every day. On Fridays during Lent, Catholics also avoid eating meat. \u003cbr\u003e Lent is also a time to think about the choices we make and to say sorry for our sins. We can go to confession, where we tell God we are sorry for any wrongs we have done and receive His forgiveness. \u003cbr\u003e The 40 days of Lent remind us of the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert praying and preparing for His mission. By the end of Lent, we have hopefully grown closer to God and are ready to celebrate Easter, which is the greatest feast of the Church. It's a time to rejoice because Jesus rose from the dead and gives us the hope of eternal life with Him! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Topics explained in this title include: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e God's Love for Us \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Preparing for Easter \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Forty Days of Lent \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Preparing for Baptism \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Rite of Christian Initiation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ash Wednesday \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Signs of Lent \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Holy Scripture \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fasting \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Good Deeds \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Time of Prayer \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Way of the Cross \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Palm Sunday \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Holy Thursday \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Good Friday \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Holy Saturday \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 7.2 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 1994\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48191034982621,"sku":"9780899425023","price":5.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/lfKyCDFBst9780899425023.webp?v=1784375191","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/celebrating-lent-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
