In this episode, as part of our series on Home-Ed rituals and practices, I continue my conversation with my dear friend Clare Carberry, whom you met in the previous episode, about her practices and rituals around the current season of Lent.

I have always been big on Easter and Christmas. However, the quiet periods leading up to the festivities when Christians ought to be preparing for a spiritual encounter on special celebrations like Easter was slightly lost on me. This is why it was an absolute delight to get a peek into how Clare’s family engages with and transforms traditional Lenten practices of the Catholic Church into a charming and memorable home-ed rhythm.

We discuss a wide range of Lenten practices and rituals that can easily be adopted to usher in warmth and delight into your home school rhythm.

Tune in for inspiring and relatable stories, practical tips for prayers, hymns, read-aloud suggestions, fireside treats and as always, a space for thought-provoking topical poetry.

I would love to hear your thoughts.
