Mother’s Day is just a week away
Here is an easy way you can involve your kids in a meaningful gift for Mom this year:
It’s a spiritual bouquet card your kids can make themselves!
1. Kids say a prayer for Mom
2. Peel & place a floral sticker corresponding to the prayer on the front of the card
3. REPEAT with more prayers until they have created a beautiful spiritual bouquet composed of just the prayers they selected & prayed!
4. Sign the card, add whatever else you wish to say–and give it to Mom on Mother’s Day!
The back of the card explains what a spiritual bouquet actually is, while inside the card indicates which color bloom signifies which prayer has been said for the recipient’s intentions (and the words to the prayers are printed, too).
DADS: we created this for kids to do themselves. No need for you to organize or manage it!
Each set comes with 5 cards, 5 envelopes, and plenty of stickers for kids to fill out their individual spiritual bouquets!
ANOTHER Beautiful Mother’s Day Gift
To help you live the liturgical life of the Church more fully, authors David Clayton and Leila Marie Lawler reclaim here an almost lost tradition that families used for centuries to build a beautiful bridge between home and church: the little oratory.
Building your own little oratory is simple, and in these pages you’ll discover just how easy it is. In fact, you likely have most of the pieces in your home already except, perhaps, the sacred art. That’s why this book includes seven full-colored icons that are ready for framing, enabling you to get started right away!
By following the wise advice in this book, you’ll discover the peace and love that flows from a home that is focused on Christ. You’ll also learn:
- How to use sacred art to strengthen your prayer life.
- How to extend Catholic beliefs and devotions into every room of the house.
- Why the Liturgy of the Hours is important and how it can make your family holy.
- How to pray the Rosary with children and keep the rowdiest of them calm and reverent.
- The active role children can and should play in the prayer life of the family.
- What to do when only one parent takes the spiritual life seriously.
- How to overcome the feeling that you’re too busy to pray.
- Practical ways to extend the liturgical life into your workplace.
- And countless other tips to help you practice your faith in the heart of your home.
Wish you would send these more than a week ahead of time because our faith formation programs are over so I have no way of getting these the kids to do so at least two weeks notice would have been really nice
