The Clock of the Passion

April 18, 2025 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Holy Week, Passiontide, Sacred Triduum Leave a Comment

May we take the lead of St. Alphonsus Liguori and walk hour by hour with Our Lord using The Clock of the Passion—a holy meditation charting the final 24 hours of Jesus’ life on this earth.

As we enter into this sacred Triduum, let us not be mere spectators but true companions of Christ in His Passion. May we allow these sacred moments, laid out through Scripture and Tradition, to pierce our hearts and move us to a deeper, tender devotion toward our suffering Savior. 💔✝️

“The Church, in her liturgy, is not simply recalling a past event; she is living again the mysteries of our redemption. The Triduum is not a commemoration only, but a participation. She bids her children unite themselves with Jesus, who is still carrying His cross in His members and offering Himself as a victim in every Mass.” #DomGuéranger

Let us not rush through these days. Let us watch and pray. Let us love and console the Heart that has so loved us.

🕯️ Will you join us in keeping watch with Jesus this Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday? The hours are marked… He waits not for the multitude, but for you!

+Prayer by St. Alphonsus de Liguori

O my Jesus! I pray Thee make me always remember Thy Passion; and grant that I also, a miserable sinner, overcome at last by so many loving devices, may return to love Thee, and to show Thee, by my poor love some mark of gratitude for the excessive love which Thou, my God and my Saviour, hast borne to me. Amen.

🎶 “O Sacred Head, Now Wounded” — sung by the @sistersofaquinas — hymn of our Good Friday. We’ve been blessed to sing it daily alongside the sisters during this holy season of Lent. May its sorrowful beauty draw our hearts ever nearer to His.

2025 Lenten Calendar & Planner

February 15, 2025 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Lent, Lenten Calendar Leave a Comment

Septuagesima in 2025 starts on Sunday, February 16.  Septuagesima is the season that preludes to the penitential mortifications of Lent and is a time to prepare. Ash Wednesday is March 5 this year. 

The Church, therefore, has instituted a preparation for the holy time of Lent. She gives us the three weeks of Septuagesima, during which she withdraws us, as much as may be, from the noisy distractions of the world, in order that our hearts may be the more readily impressed by the solemn warning she is to give us, at the commencement of Lent, by marking our foreheads with ashes.The Liturgical Year by Dom Guéranger, Septuagesima

This Lenten Calendar was created several years ago and my children insist that we have it every Lent. It’s not grand by any means but it goes to show that a simple visual can have a great impact on all ages. I encourage you to find what your family can be fond of as you set to grow closer to Christ in Lent.

Please do not think that your Lenten plans must be extravagant or lengthy. There are many fruits to be found in a simple rhythm during all seasons, especially in the most penitential season of the year.

The institution of Lent is thus brought before us with everything that can impress the mind with its solemn character and with its power to appease God and purify our souls. Look beyond the little world that surrounds us and see how the entire Christian universe is, at this very time, offering forty days’ penance as a sacrifice of propitiation to the offended Majesty of God. – Abbot Gueranger, O.S.B.’s The Liturgical Year.

As always, you are invited to use this Lenten Calendar for your personal use.

This Lenten Calendar is set for a minimum offering. You may offer more if you wish but it is not required or expected. If you desire to print this calendar but are unable to pay, do not hesitate to reach out.

  • You may also link to this post but please do not link directly to the file download.
  • Email me at JOYfilledfamily{at}gmail{dot}com if you need my assistance.  
  • This year’s calendar prints best as 11×17 or 24×36.
    • Staples offers inexpensive printing options. The colored prints can be printed on 65-63 lb 11×17 for less than $2. The BW Calendar can be printed as a 24×36 “Blue Print” ($3.80) or colored for under $10– It’s thin paper but large and easy to read.

O most benign Jesus! who didst so desire to suffer for us, grant, that we may willingly suffer for love of Thee; that we may hate and flee from the detestable pleasures of the world and the flesh, and practice penance and mortification, that by so doing we may merit to be released from our spiritual blindness to love Thee more and more ardently, and finally possess Thee forever.

Daily Rhythm

January 7, 2025 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Family Adventures, Rule of Life Leave a Comment

After a break filled with health scares, holy days, family outings, and cherished restful days with my beloved, we are easing back into our regular daily rhythm. It’s a gentle but necessary shift, one that mirrors the wisdom Holy Mother Church offers us in her liturgical timing.

How prudent it is, as Catholics, to align our lives with the liturgical calendar that the Church has established—times for feasting and fasting, rest and labor, prayer and work. It’s not about perfection but about deepening our love and obedience to our duties of state, trusting that each small act done with great love has eternal significance.

“A steadfast attention to the work at hand, with no hurry or agitation, is the surest way to accomplish it well.” #StFrancisdeSales

The rhythm of daily life, grounded in faith and simplicity, is an offering of love to God and those entrusted to us.

I give thanks for the moments of respite and for the beauty of God’s creation, which has nourished us in every way. Those sacred pauses, shared with family and embraced in His love, have renewed us for the tasks ahead.

Now we return, not with burdens, but with joy—grateful for the order that sustains us and ready to carry on, step by step, for His greater glory. 🙏🏼
