Crown of Thorns

March 9, 2011 by Monica McConkey 1 Comment

This is our Crown of Thorns for this Lent. The toothpicks will slowly be removed and eventually replaced with flowers, as we sacrifice, do good deeds, say extra prayers …or choose not to complain. See other versions of the Crown of Thorns here. As I prayed about what I should ‘do’ this year for Lent, this is what I felt I was being told. “Choose not what you know you can be successful at, but what will draw you closer to Me.” read more...for Equipping Catholic Families!

Stepping Stones through Jesus’ Life

March 8, 2011 by Monica McConkey 8 Comments

Inspired by the Shower of Roses Jesus Tree post, I came up with my own paper version. Although I used some of the images from the kit that Shower of Roses posted, I added my own images for many of the days and formatted them into little stamps. I also added some stamps for Ash Wednesday, St. Patrick’s Day, the Solemnity of St. Joseph and Jesus’ Birth.

Good Deed Beads Bracelet for LENT!

March 2, 2011 by Monica McConkey 7 Comments

As Moms, we have all worn bead bracelets and necklaces, proudly strung by our kids.
Also not exactly formal wear, these thick cord, pony bead
Good Deed Beads Bracelet will help us
with our Lenten sacrifices too.
Inspired by St. Therese, this bracelet works similar to other good deed bead bracelets, as the beads slide and stay in place, recording each good deed, extra prayer (foregone opportunity to complain) or sacrifice.
