Excited for Lent?! Helpful Resources Listed

I'm unusually excited for Lent this year, but I also know I need some help staying focused for 40 Days on anything, not the least of which is the death and resurrection of our Lord.  Here are a few of the free online tools available that might help you and your family:

Holy Heroes (www.holyheroes.net): Sign up and receive free weekly Mass videos, audio stories and music, printable activities and much more. My kids really enjoy the weekly Mass videos as a way to prepare for the Gospel reading. And today, we started the Lenten Adventure!

Lentsanity App: From FOCUS (The Fellowship of Catholic University Students), we can get a sound "Daily Dose" and full-length articles about different aspects of Lent, as well as "Meat Police Notifications."  You can find out more at focus.org/blog or by looking for the Lentsanity App in your App Store.

Pausing to Pray: Lenten Reflections for Busy People: Use this signup link from Lighthouse Catholic Media for a daily reflection delivered to your mailbox. 

This year, journey through Lent with Fr. Robert Barron, who sends daily Lenten reflections right to your inbox.  Sign up at http://www.lentreflections.com/.

Please feel free to list resources you find helpful in the comments!
