Crux is a system for doing Lent well.
Starting Ash Wednesday, you'll learn to surrender to God through the adoption of four daily challenges:
- Pray together as a family. Even a simple Our Father or Hail Mary can bring unity and strengthen your bond.
- At dinnertime, invite each family member to name one person or situation they would like to lift up in prayer.
- Involve your children in helping those in need by taking them grocery shopping for the poor.
- Let them assist in delivering the food to your parish pantry or a local food bank.
- Encourage children to light a candle at church, offering prayers for those who are sick or hungry around the world.
- Explore traditional Lenten foods like hot cross buns or pretzels. For a fun challenge, look up recipes online and try making them from scratch!
