Awesome list! I ordered a book from The Catholic Company a few weeks ago on what Jesus went through being crucified. I know it's going to be a difficult read emotionally, but it's so important to remember what He did for us. I also ordered a Lenten journal and will be doing stations of the Cross on Fridays. P.s. I'm not Catholic, but I'm looking into converting.

What state are you in? I’m joining a class in August but with that it will still be 1.5 years before I can do communion or participate in other services what do you recommend.
In the Philippines, we do visita iglesia (visiting 7 churches walking) during holy week. We also cook "binignit" during good friday and black Saturday. It's a dessert soup and we eat it instead of meals as a way of fasting. All work are prohibited starting 3pm Good Friday until Black Saturday. We wake up around 3-4am to go to church and hear the first mass where children are dressed as angels singing for Jesus. After that, the rest of the day is spent with family celebrating at the beach. It's amazing to see how different we all spend our holy week around the world.
Good ideas. I’ve been doing Bible in One Year and I’ve been praying the rosary onstop. I plan to watch in-home Sunday mass from my parish this weekend. God bless.
To my knowledge-the liturgical calendar of Lent and Easter is as follows: The 46 days (40 “fasting days”) before Easter Sunday are almost here. Lent itself begins at midnight on Ash Wednesday and ends at sunset on Holy Thursday. The Paschal/Easter Triduum is from sunset Holy Thursday to sunset Easter Sunday. We then enter the 50 days of Easter Time from sunset on Easter Sunday to sunset on Pentecost Sunday-although the Easter celebrations begin at the Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday night.
Thank you for all the items on your checklist. I'm very lucky that my daughter married an extremely devout Catholic gentleman. He keeps our faith in line all year long. This is refreshing to see because there are SO many websites about Easter and Christmas (Easter Bunny and Santa Claus) which drives me crazy.
Evangelical / Protestant here, and I am hoping to observe lent. Not sure if it's proper that I do seeing as I'm not Catholic, but I honor the faith so much. You're videos are incredibly helpful!
Thank you for the checklist! It has been very helpful. I love the idea of a declutter and spring clean during Lent so I am going to do that this year. That is such a great idea. I am currently doing a daily declutter challenge for the whole month of February with another RUclipsr so I'll finish that and then concentrate on spring cleaning for the rest of Lent. I look forward to your next video on meatless meals. I am planning to make the ravioli lasagna soon. It sounds so good. My husband and I love your margarita chicken recipe. I make it all the time. In fact, we just had it for dinner last night. ❤
Great ideas! I've been doing the Holy Face novena to prepare for Lent. For my Lent reading, I got a copy of Lent And Easter With Mary, by Thomas Craughwell, which gives daily readings beginning on Ash Wednesday.
I’m struggling. I have embraced my faith in Catholicism but hitting a few roadblocks. My husband is Catholic but we have been attending a non Catholic Church for 40 years. We weren’t married in the Catholic Church but a church. So now there are many things we are not allowed to participate in. At this time I’m hoping we will be able to participate in Lent services we will be doing prayers through this time,
You can go talk to the Parish priest about getting your marriage convalidated. That is what my husband and I did since he was not practicing at the time we got married and I wasn't a Catholic yet. Now we can partake of the sacraments together, such a beautiful blessing. God bless you in your journey!:)
My suggestion would be to attend a Catholic church only. Talk to your priest about becoming married in the Catholic Church. Embrace your Catholic faith - it is a true joy!
Sacrament matrimony is beautiful, the Catholic church offer so many gifts like confession and the Eucharist, idk what you have been go through but hopefully you will return to the church as you're part of the catholic family
Heather I loved the recipe with the naan bread pesto and fresh mozzarella. I was worried my kids wouldn’t like it and everyone loved it so much. I’m going try the salmon rice bowls next!
I am so sorry! I have had 3 miscarriages and they are heartbreaking! I did a video awhile ago that I hope will help you ruclips.net/video/XgpJQtNJs-M/видео.html
This may sound stupid - but I'm not totally sure what almsgiving is. Is it just extra giving to the church? Is it donating to the poor? Or just donating to some place special to you, like the Wounded Warrior Project? We never talked about almsgiving in Methodism.
Up until 1966 Church law prohibited meat on all Fridays throughout the entire year. The new law was promulgated in 1983 in the revised Code of Canon Law which states, “Abstinence [is] to be observed on Ash Wednesday and on the Friday of the Passion and Death of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Canon 1251). “All persons who have completed their fourteenth year are bound by the law of abstinence” (Canon 1252). The U. S. Catholic Conference of Bishops (USCCB) extended this law to include all Fridays in Lent.
subscribing. I think it would be great for my kids to go through their own toys and pick what they want to donate! Planning to baptize my baby twins after the Lent season.
I couldn't figure out what you meant by "sacramental". Didn't find it on your page. I looked up the meaning and it just seems like it means any 'outward physical item' to express the Sacrament? So really not sure how you are using a drape or what you are talking about. Maybe show us in your next vid? Enjoying your videos though! Just started RCIA last week.
its a time to abstain from sin and make certain sacrifices ( such as skipping a meal, or stopping a sinful habit) to master our senses and prepare us for Easter and the Resurrection of Christ. the Virgin Mary said with Prayer and Penance we can change even the natural laws and stop wars
Hi all, can anybody tell me what is meant by ‘abstinence’ on Ash Wednesday?? It says it is a day of fasting but to what degree? Is it just fasting from meat ? Or are we supposed to skip entire meals? Thanks xx
Hi Heather, Thankyou for your reply 💕. It is 7am on Ash Wednesday here in the UK. I am going to try to wait until 11am before I eat anything, and then maybe have a main meal at 3pm and a small meal again later tonight. I work as a cleaning lady in the evenings so I am always hungry before and after work lol! With having a physical job I have found that I eat quite a lot of food (more than I have ever done before) but I have really been trying my best to do a lot of Rosary so I hope that makes up for it! I love your videos about Catholicism, I find them very grounded and positive. There are a lot of videos out there these days that can feel quite fearful and it just brings a lot of anxiety, I don’t think God wants us going into fear. I love your videos and also ‘Bible in a year’ with Fr Mike. I find art and crafts can also help with anxiety. God bless you , I hope lent is a blessed time for you and your family. I will offer up some Hail Mary’s for you , please offer one up for me if you can. God bless 🙏🏻

Suggestion ...buy book " The hours of The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ " by Servant of God Louisa Piccarreta. Louisa is n process of Beatification & Canonization . The book has received multiple Imprimatur & Nihil Obstat. There is a prayer that u read 1st on page 21while on your knees . Then after u continue on your knees while reading 1 hour of Jesus's Passion , then remain on your knees while meditating on it ...keeping Him company . After 1 hour total time , you end w the Concluding prayer on page 21. 🙏 Jesus dictated this book 2 His Servant Louisa Piccarreta & said that those who do this will receive many graces &( for each word that is read a soul will be saved.!)
This will be my first lent as a believer and can’t wait to be baptised soon during the lent period
Glory to God 🙏
Amen! Welcome home 🙏
Me too! 🙏
Amen 🙏 praise the lord . Same feelings I had last year . It's my 1st year lent as an catholic .
Mee too

Last year I went to Mass everyday during lent. I loved it got so much out of it. I am lucky I have a church that says Mass everyday.

Hi Heather, I am a catechumen in RCIA. So happy to have found your video! It is very helpful for a new Catholic. ✝️🕊️💜

@@blumerlredpilledgirl8958 That's so long. I want to be catholic and this is what worries me the most. It's like depressing. I need to join RCIA soon.

Lent ends when the first Alleluia is sung at the Easter Vigil.
I’m so excited for Lent because of the spiritual growth, and then it is marvelous when Easter arrives! Thank you for the video, and God bless🙏

I don't have children (yet) but I think the checklist is a great idea! Thank you!
PRAISE THE TRINITY. AMEN.

That would be great! Lent is all about growing closer to God! Glad you are here!
You can perfectly do it, no problem. The 40 days of Jesus in the desert are Biblical. Thats what Lent is all about.
Praise be to God in the Highest 🙏💟🙏

@@lorettat.8413 we are older married 44 years he’s Catholic and we’ve been going to church all those years I just want to convert.
Please try to sort out this situation. You will feel so much better.

So excited about this! Your advent list was amazingly helpful!
This is great catholic mom,i have learnt alot🙏
After four miscarages I feel like I lost hope and my faith is not as strong ,please pray for me.
I am so sorry! I have had 3 miscarriages and they are heartbreaking! I did a video awhile ago that I hope will help you ruclips.net/video/XgpJQtNJs-M/видео.html
Yep. I dive into the New Testament and meditate on aboutv3 scriptures a day
Soooooo uplifting
Thank you for this!!! You’re amazing and a blessing!!! 🕊♥️🙏🏽🙌🏽
Beautiful, God bless you and thanks for sharing. 🥰🙏👏👍❤️✨⭐️✝️
Thank you, I always wanted to make a "Lent List"🙏
Great tips and ideas, Heather! Thank you! ❤️
Beautiful and useful video
Thank you for making great and helpful videos! God bless you and your family! 🙏♥️
Other than the Bible I'm going to try do forty dreams of st. John Bosco and read when dream each day during Lent.
:)
Just came across your RUclips and what a blessing it is. Thank you so much. God bless you
Like!
❤❤❤❤ thanks
Love it! Thank you so much 💓
This may sound stupid - but I'm not totally sure what almsgiving is. Is it just extra giving to the church? Is it donating to the poor? Or just donating to some place special to you, like the Wounded Warrior Project? We never talked about almsgiving in Methodism.
Beautiful video....thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for rounding up plans for this Lent Heather. Loved the ideas and your hoodie !!. Did you get it from a local catholic business?. Thanks 😊
My apologies, is it a sweatshirt?.
Hi, Heather. I just want to add that we can only eat meat on Fridays if it's a sovereignty, not just a feast.
Up until 1966 Church law prohibited meat on all Fridays throughout the entire year. The new law was promulgated in 1983 in the revised Code of Canon Law which states, “Abstinence [is] to be observed on Ash Wednesday and on the Friday of the Passion and Death of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Canon 1251). “All persons who have completed their fourteenth year are bound by the law of abstinence” (Canon 1252). The U. S. Catholic Conference of Bishops (USCCB) extended this law to include all Fridays in Lent.
Thank you, Heather. A blessed Lent to you and your family! (Love your shirt--where did you get it?)
For lent I gave up secular music and movies. I also gave up video games and other social medias. I will fill my lent with Catholic videos and prayers.
subscribing. I think it would be great for my kids to go through their own toys and pick what they want to donate! Planning to baptize my baby twins after the Lent season.
I am not a Christian but I respect the religion alot and want to know that is salt allowed in fasting??
I couldn't figure out what you meant by "sacramental". Didn't find it on your page. I looked up the meaning and it just seems like it means any 'outward physical item' to express the Sacrament? So really not sure how you are using a drape or what you are talking about. Maybe show us in your next vid? Enjoying your videos though! Just started RCIA last week.
What are considered sacramentals?
Love her videos, looking forward to lent. Just curious, as I may have missed a video, but do you attend the Latin mass or Novus Ordo?
Hi! Can I ask where did you get your miraculous medal and what material did you choose to get so they last long? Big THANK You!
Do we need to attend mass on Ash Wednesday? There is an ash distribution but no mass where I am
I am very new to Catholicism (a few months in), can anyone tell me what lent is, when it starts, what you do on it, and it’s pourpouse?
its a time to abstain from sin and make certain sacrifices ( such as skipping a meal, or stopping a sinful habit) to master our senses and prepare us for Easter and the Resurrection of Christ. the Virgin Mary said with Prayer and Penance we can change even the natural laws and stop wars
you can look up Catholic media for a better explanation
So glad you are here! I did a video about it, hope it help sruclips.net/video/XF0tHGjBNns/видео.html

Hi all, can anybody tell me what is meant by ‘abstinence’ on Ash Wednesday??
It says it is a day of fasting but to what degree? Is it just fasting from meat ? Or are we supposed to skip entire meals? Thanks xx
The church says no meat and 2 very small meals and one regular size meal:)

People give gifts for Easter? We don’t do that in Ireland except for maybe a chocolate egg!
Also Fiat 40 is an awesome thing to do during Lent.
I'm doing the book- Be Transformed by Dr. Bob Schuts and the @abidingtogetherpodcast.
Thank you for sharing this. Have a blessed Easter.
