Holy Week Journals  This Holy Week Journal is a long time favorite on the blog! It is so versatile that you can use it with almost any age. With pages for every day of Holy Week from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, it includes the Gospel reading, writing/drawing prompts, and room to journal and draw.  It would be a perfect companion for kids to take along with them to all of the liturgies, or a tool to use at home as you observe the week together as a family. And this journal is available in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese! Holy Week Journals

April Book List April Book List  One of my very favorite things to do is recommending Catholic books for kids. This month's book list has books for Holy Week, Easter, the Holy Spirit, and Saints of April. There are so many wonderful books that help teach the beauty of the Paschal Mystery, even without being specific "Easter" books. Those are all included in this list but are good reads for any time of the year.  I hope that it is a helpful resource when planning for lessons, shopping for gifts, or browsing at the library.

Visio Divina for Holy Week Heart of the Revival Newsletter I'm honored to be a contributor for the Heart of the Revival, the newsletter of the National Eucharistic Revival. The USCCB is calling us as a nation- dioceses, parishes, and individuals- to renew our devotion to Jesus, Truly Present in the Holy Eucharist.  This month I wrote about using Visio Divina as a method of praying with Sacred Art. Included in the article is a set of a dozen beautiful images of the events of Holy Week, as well as a Visio Divina Guide and kid friendly discussion questions (in both English and Spanish).  You can read the full article here.
