Mão a agarrar uma dezena.

We have spent the last days feeling overwhelmed.

Have you ever felt this way?

It seems like there is always so much to do, but we never get the right time to do it all. And the focus is also hard to achieve.

And with this coming Lent period, it seems that we feel even more this pressure of time and concern to make a commitment to a Lenten sacrifice.

That is why we have worked on this daily practice guide that we have decided to share. Because we think you can benefit too: 40 activities for Lent for Catholic Families.
