We are attempting to do the entire Divine Mercy Novena leading up to Divine Mercy Sunday. I say attempting to because we seem to rather stink at follow through on things of this nature lately. But we are trying again.
As we are starting the novena, we have made a few crafts to help the younger children understand a little better. Sean made this
Divine Mercy Craft yesterday. He even managed to find blue and red glitter to put on it. Catholic Icing also has a wonderful
Divine Mercy countdown craft you can make using the original craft as the counter. But my glue gun is missing so we won't be doing that this year.
Today several of the middle children made this
Divine Mercy Lacing project. This project is great for giving them their own one decade counter for saying the chaplet, complete with the prayers written on each bead.
Well also spend some time reading
this book and listening to the
Glory Stories audio on St. Faustina's life. Hopefully this will help the children learn the story behind the Divine Mercy. We've also found a few coloring sheets to use as well and I plan to see if EWTN will be running any Diving Mercy shows for the kids this week.
