Lenten Calendar 2022

February 19, 2022 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Lent, Lenten Calendar, Prints Leave a Comment

Ash Wednesday is March 2 this year. Septuagesima in 2022 started on Sunday, February 13. Septuagesima is the season that preludes to the penitential mortifications of Lent and is a time to prepare.

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.

Pictured: Lenten calendar from a previous year

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.

Lenten Calendar 2019

March 1, 2019 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Lent, Lenten Calendar, Uncategorized Leave a Comment

Almighty God! I unite myself at the beginning of this holy season of penance with the Church militant, endeavoring to make these days of real sorrow for my sins and crucifixion of the sensual man. O Lord Jesus! in union with Thy fasting and passion, I offer Thee my fasting in obedience to the Church, for Thy honor, and in thanksgiving for the many favors I have received, in satisfaction for my sins and the sins of others, and that I may receive the grace to avoid such and such a sin, N. N. and to practice such and such a virtue, N. N.

Lent has a late start this year, beginning on March 6. This Lenten Calendar has become a beloved addition to our home during Lent. It’s a labor of love that my children insist I complete each year, a great way to help me prepare for Lent during Septuagesima. I share each year in hope that it may help others along their Lenten journey.

This Lenten Calendar follows the Traditional Calendar (1962) of the Extraordinary Form of the Liturgy with  Historical (H) feast days noted.  It extends from Shrove Tuesday to Holy Saturday/Easter Vigil.

We only celebrate First Class Feasts during Lent.  The other saints are included for private devotion and are called upon for intercessory prayers.

Here’s a look at the Lenten calendars posted in our home over the years.

This year’s calendar prints best as 20×30 and 12×18.  Costco Photo has been my best option for speedy and inexpensive printing.  Prints at Costco range from $1.49 to $9.99.

I have set a suggested donation amount to the calendar this year — $2. It’s a small something that goes a long way to support this humble family ministry (of sharing the riches of our Faith and Traditional Latin Mass.)
