Resources for the Lenten Season
Further to the great engagement and feedback the London Diocese received about the Lenten Resources created to encourage families to pray together during the Lenten season; similar Easter Resources have been uploaded to the Diocese of London website.
Resources include, in English and French:
• (Poster) Tips for family prayer during the Easter Season
• (Script) Liturgy of the Word for Easter Sunday
• (Vdieo) Easter Sunday Gospel Reflection by Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Dabrowski, CSMA
Video Links:
Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Dabrowski's Easter Reflection for Families (English)
Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Dabrowski's Easter Reflection for Families (French)
Everything can be accessed in both languages here: https://dol.ca/easter
Two notable credits:
• The Reflection videos include a short animation of Bishop Joseph. This would not have been possible without Dorothy de Bakker sharing her talent. Great thanks!
• All other art in the Reflection was sourced from Danielle Hitchen, author of the Baby Believer series of Catechesis Books. My little ones love her board books and (sometimes free) printable colouring pages. They also make a beautiful Scripture/image display of our family prayer space.
