DIGITAL COPY: I AM Lenten Study for Catholic Families with Young Children

In the Gospel, Jesus uttered seven powerful “I AM” statements. 

In these statements, Jesus used God’s holy name (I AM WHO I AM) to announce His own divinity. These seven statements also help us understand more about the great mystery of God and the relationship He wants to have with each of us.

The I AM Lenten study aims to look closely at each of Jesus’s “I AM” statements in a way that invites the youngest members of your family into the conversation. 

Throughout the Lenten Season, your family will:

• Memorize short passages of scripture
• Look at the context in which Christ revealed Himself in these statements
• Explore Old Testament stories where God laid the foundation for these statements
• Prayerfully consider the “I AM” statements through the lens of other Gospel events
• Discover how the saints followed Christ to heaven

Each week, the I AM study will help you prayerfully examine one of Jesus’s I AM statements. Along with a devotional written to engage the hearts of the whole family, your family will also have an opportunity to contemplate an original art print of Christ for each statement. 

The prints are included in the back of the study, ready to be displayed each week.

Lent is a GREAT time to introduce daily family prayer in your home, even if you have young children.

The I AM Lenten study was written specifically for families with children kindergarten age and younger. However, this does not mean that the devotional is simple or uninteresting for older members of the family! We strove to create a Lenten journey for the whole family!

I AM will engage the hearts of the youngest members of your family through:

• Beautiful art for each week, to keep your kids’ minds focused on Christ.
• Action-based storytelling and daily devotional readings that are meaningful, but will take less than 3 minutes to read aloud.
• Colorful symbols to go along with each day’s reading.
• Daily challenges to reinforce what is learned about Jesus.

We hope that the I AM study becomes a fun, meaningful part of your day during Lent and that it allows you to set a rhythm of prayer in your home that will continue into the Easter season!

This Lenten Devotional was written by Catholic moms who understand how hard it is to lead young children in prayer. We have done loads of Lenten devotionals in our own families, and we understand what works…and what doesn’t.

The I AM Lenten Devotional requires ZERO PREP. Simply pick up the book and read each evening. 

Also, each night’s devotion can be accomplished in 5-8 minutes, depending on the length of your family discussion. So, even on busy nights, or nights when kids are crabby, you can accomplish this meaningful study!

Finally, we worked hard to include lots of meaningful images both within the study and to display in your home throughout the Lenten Season.

The I AM Lenten Study for Catholic Families with Young Children is a printed, physical book that is hardcover, 6” x 9” and Full Color with custom watercolor and digital art.

The I AM Lenten Study also comes with seven art prints, one for each of the seven I AM statements. The custom portraits are printed on sturdy cardstock with a soft finish. 

The art prints are tucked into the back of each book, in a special pocket. Each week, you will be asked to display an art print for your family to contemplate. 

Therefore, when you order the I AM Lenten Devotional, you will receive the following in the mail:

1. Hardcover I AM devotional
2. Seven art prints, ready to be displayed.
