Make a promise to rewrite your life for Lent…. 1. Use the coloured template provided to create your own blossom. 2. On the blossom print how you will rewrite your life for Lent (choose one). For example... “I will pray for _________” “I will fast from __________” “I will give _______” 3. Cut out your flower, and fold each petal in towards the middle, to create a 3-D blossom. These blossoms will be displayed throughout the school leading to our Tree of Mercy.
