Journey with Jesus - a Lenten Devotional for Kids

Journey with Jesus: A Lenten Devotional for Kids

A beautiful, daily Lenten journey designed just for grade-school children.

Lent is a season of prayer, reflection, and growing closer to Jesus — and Journey with Jesus helps children experience that journey in a way that feels meaningful, gentle, and engaging.

Created especially for grade-school children (ages ~7–12), this full-color devotional walks kids step by step from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, helping them understand Lent, build a real relationship with Jesus, and practice small acts of love each day.

One of the most special features of this devotional is its visual journey through color. The pages begin in deep, prayerful purples at Ash Wednesday and slowly transition through warmer tones, ending in bright, joyful yellow at Easter — visually reflecting the movement from repentance and waiting to celebration and resurrection joy.

Each daily entry includes:

• 📖 A short Scripture verse written with young readers in mind

• 💛 A kid-friendly reflection that explains the meaning of the day

• 🌿 A simple mission to practice kindness, prayer, or self-control

• 🙏 A short prayer children can truly pray

• ✏️ Space to draw or write personal reflections

Children will also enjoy:

• 🎨 A colorable Lenten Path to mark each day of the journey

• ✨ Fun “Learn About Lent!” facts that explain Catholic traditions and symbols

• 🖌️ Pages filled with beloved Shining Light Dolls original artwork, created especially to help children feel at home in the story of Lent

Perfect for families, homeschoolers, Catholic schools, and parish programs, Journey with Jesus makes Lent approachable without watering it down — encouraging children to walk closely with Jesus, one small step at a time.
