My Guidebook, The Liturgical Home: Lent is here!

My guidebook giving you everything you need to celebrate Lent in your home.

Today I am thrilled to announce that The Liturgical Home: Lent is available!

In the tapestry of the Christian liturgical year, the season of Lent emerges as a profound and transformative journey. It is a journey that prepares us for the most miraculous event in our lives—the death and resurrection of Jesus. In a culture that frequently prizes instant gratification and superficial pleasures, Lent calls us to something deeper, something more enduring. It’s a call to look inward, to confront our weaknesses, and to embrace the grace that is so freely offered to us in Christ.

Why I Wrote This Book

As a young mom, I longed to celebrate the liturgical year fully in my home. I wanted my family to experience the beauty of Lent—not just a handful of feast days or an overview of the season, but the why behind it all. Most of the books I found touched on Ash Wednesday, Holy Week, and maybe a few Lenten traditions, but I wanted more. I wanted a resource that explained the history, meaning, and traditions of the season.

I wanted to know why we refrain from eating meat on Fridays, why we "bury" the Alleluias, and why the color purple is the symbol of Lent. I wanted every feast and fast day fully explained, complete with its history and significance. I wanted traditional activities and recipes from around the world, passed down through generations. Most importantly, I wanted family devotions for each day of Lent, something to guide my family through this sacred season with intentionality.

And since I couldn’t find a book that had all of this in one place… I wrote it myself.
