Sharing a moment of serendipity.
I was Googling “ember days” to find out when this year’s Ember Days are and tripped over this site. It’s entitled “Faith and Family: Resources for the Liturgy of Life” and it is jam-packed full of creative ideas for making the liturgical year come alive in everyday life and with kids of all ages. Even non-Roman-Catholics can find lots of worthwhile suggestions for reading and activities to bring the reality of God’s presence into daily living.
It’s worth a visit just to spend a calming and peaceful moment with the background music.
~Enjoy~

Good find! I can use this as inspirationf for my lesson plans. I love the use of artworks on the website…
Glad you can use it! Check out the link to the “Easter Garden” on the Shrove Tuesday entry too. It’s reminiscent of the one in Israel, only in miniature. Gorgeous!
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog and leave your kind comments.
I read your “About” post on your blog and felt a real connection with you. I was raised Church of Christ but left it years ago. As an adult I feel as if I have been “searching” for Christ’s church on earth for many years, fully realizing I will never truly find it until I am with Him. Right now, under the leadership of my husband, we attend a community (non-denominationl) church, but I do not personally agree with all that is taught there either. I LOVE many things about the Catholic faith that I love, but then, I don’t completely agree with all of their doctrine and theology either. I think I’m too protestant to be Catholic, and too Catholic to be protestant. In the end all that really matters to me is that I have a personal realationship with my Savior and my God. Looking forward to hearing from you again!

Hi Kim,
My apologies for the delay replying! I can soooo relate to your “I’m too protestant to be Catholic, and too Catholic to be protestant”. I am right there with you! How did you come to know the Catholic church? And how did you end up in a non-denominational church?
I have just about tried them all, and about 25 years ago settled on the Anglican church (middle road between Catholic and Protestant — essentially Catholic-style worship with Protestant theology) but even there I end up feeling a little ‘too Catholic’ sometimes and find myself wishing John Wesley was still alive.
On the other hand, the artistry and mystery and beauty of the liturgy and the sacraments and the lives of the saints… can’t do without that either! 😉
In the end it *is* our faith that keeps us — and thank God for that! — but I find (more and more as I get older) that we need other people of faith around us too. It’s great to “meet” you!
