Well, the roads are extremely icy, and I have already heard of many accidents this morning, so we won’t be able to make the drive to Mass. It makes me sad when I can’t get the boys there to serve… They love it so much! As do I, and it is First Friday no less… I am hoping it warms up enough to get to town for the “Candle Mass” tomorrow!
I also think Snuggles has an ear infection… I thought at first he might just be teething, but he is so hard to comfort, that I think it is more than that. Poor Baby! Please say a quick prayer for him!
Well, the kids are getting off task, so I better get back to them… I hope to finish school early, since this afternoon, being the feast of St. Brigid, we will have a tea and craft time similar to the one Dawn had last year. I am looking forward to reading Brigid’s Cloak
Anyway, before I sign off for the day, here are the symbols, readings and links to coloring pages for the second week of Lent, days 6 to 12. I have added week one to my sidebar, so you can find it easily.

You Jesus Tree is wonderful! Thank you for sharing it with us. 🙂
Hi Jessica,
Blessings abundant…your site is phenominal. Thank you so much for all your hard work, it is a blessing for me to see the things you have. Love Joan H.
Thanks for sharing.I forgot my patron Saint is that of beer.So I said a prayer that I would have beer sales of miraculous proportions this super bowl Sunday :} Auntie B
Thanks Amy!!
HI Joan!!!!
And… Auntie B… She is also patron of dairy workers, so maybe you will have sales of miraculous proportions of milk instead of beer, this Super bowl Sunday… Now wouldn’t that be interesting?
Wonderful job! These will become your family’s most treasured items for Lent. We made our own many years ago and the biggest challenge to the married children is “who” gets to use them…so we’ve decided to alternate years until they all get their very own made themselves. wink.
Jessica, I came across your site the day before Ash Wednesday, just in time. The Jesus Tree has been a blessing for our family! For now, I’m using the coloring pages and doing the readings with my children at bedtime. I hope to get as organized as you for next year. 😉 Thank you so much!!
Cecilia – mommy of five too 🙂
Cecilia, thank you for your sweet comment! I’m so glad you have been able to use the coloring pages for your kids! As far as being organized, my dear hubby laughed at that!! 😉 I am a work in progress! Although, I am finding that it is key to my sanity, so I am working HARD on it! I hope you are having a very blessed Lent!
Thanks so much. I was looking for a coloring sheet on the transfiguration to help with teaching Sunday school and found so much more. What a blessing. LizJ.
