Season of Change
Just as the seasons are shifting in March, so too is the Church year. On Ash Wednesday we begin Lent -- a time to "return to [the Lord] with your whole heart" (Joel 2:12). Children may have already begun to observe signs of spring in nature; guide them to also recognize the changes this month in our liturgy. They may notice the return of the color purple as is used during Advent to symbolize penance. Talk about the Lenten practices of fasting, almsgiving, and prayer or as the U.S. bishops describe them: giving up, taking up, and lifting up. Blessings to you as you use this month's TCK to inspire in your homes, parishes, and classrooms.
