PRAYING TOGETHER AS A FAMILY DURING LENT: Each Sunday evening this Lent, gather together as a family around the table. Light a candle and place it in the center of the table. Give each one a piece of paper or an index card. As each one to:

• Feb. 3 - name a behavior that they want to "fast" from during Lent and write a prayer to ask God's and the family's help.
• Feb. 10 - name one of their roles in the family, at work or in the community and write a brief prayer of thanks to God for giving them that role.
• Feb. 17 - name a gift or talent they have and write a prayer of thanks to God for giving them that role.
• Feb. 24 - name a problem or difficulty they are facing and formulate a prayer asking for God's help to face this challenge.
• March 9 - name a person who needs help and write a prayer asking for God's help.
• March 16 - name someone who has helped you this Lent and write a prayer of thanks. Then invite them to put the cards in a circle around the candle.

Remind them that God wants us to radiate love to one another, just as the candle radiates its light to us. Then have someone share something from the day's reading or psalm that conveys God's desire to relate to us. After time for silent reflection, invite everyone to respond in unison with the following: "In your love, we are family! Thank you, Lord." - Living With Christ
