As Lent approaches, many of us feel that tug, that desire to go deeper. We want to do more than give something up. We want to understand the season, to walk through it with our families in a way that feels rooted, rich, and meaningful.

Years ago, as a young mom trying to shape our home around the rhythms of the Church calendar, I remember feeling overwhelmed. I could find little pieces here and there, books that touched on Holy Week or offered a few craft ideas, but what I longed for was something whole.

I wanted one book that gave me the big picture and the small details.Something that told me:

Why we fast from meat on Fridays
Why we bury the Alleluias
Why purple, why ashes, why 40 days

I wanted the history, the meaning, the traditions.I wanted traditional recipes, beautiful prayers, global customs, and gentle devotions that could walk with us, not just on Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday, but every step in between.

And since I couldn’t find it…I wrote it.

The Liturgical Home: Lent is now available!

This book is for you if you’ve ever wondered:

How do I bring Lent into our home?
How can I help my children understand and live this season?
What do these beautiful traditions actually mean, and where did they come from?

Inside, you’ll find:

An introduction to Lent—its history, purpose, and place in the Church year
Ways to observe Lent at home—from simple traditions to full family activities
Explanations of symbols and customs—including fasting, colors, and feast days
Family devotions—a beautiful family liturgy based on the Serivce of Light
Traditional recipes from around the world—because food is part of how we remember

This isn’t just a book of ideas, it’s a companion for the season. It’s a guide for homes just like yours, hungry for more than just surface-level observance. It’s meant to help you live the fullness of Lent, in all its solemnity, beauty, and hope.

For the longtime observer and the liturgical beginner alike

Whether this is your first year leaning into Lent or your fortieth, I wrote this book with you in mind. You don’t need a theology degree. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a heart that’s open to walking with Christ through these sacred days.

So if you’re looking for a way to slow down, to dig in, and to walk through Lent with intention, this book was made for you.

Let’s journey through this season together.
