A Season Full of Wonder
Advent and Christmas are the most joyful times to teach children about Jesus. The lights, music, and family gatherings already fill little hearts with excitement, making it the perfect opportunity to show them that at the center of all this beauty is Christ himself.
The Beautiful Life of Jesus
Jesus’s life offers lessons that are easy for children to grasp. Born in a humble stable, he grew up showing kindness, forgiveness, and compassion to everyone he met. His parables like the Good Samaritan, teach that love knows no boundaries, while his miracles remind us that God cares for all people.
Family Idea: Choose one story of Jesus each week during Advent to read aloud together. Let your children draw or act it out afterwards, it makes the lesson stick in their imagination.
Advent: Waiting With Joy
Children love countdowns, and Advent is one of the most meaningful countdowns of all. Each candle lit on the Advent wreath brings them closer to Christmas, while also teaching the virtues of hope, peace, joy, and love.
Family Idea: Create a nightly ritual. Light the candle, read a short Bible passage, and say one simple prayer as a family. Keep it brief and joyful so even the youngest children can participate.
Christmas: Praising the Newborn King
On Christmas, the Nativity story captures a child’s heart like no other. Angels singing, shepherds in wonder, and a bright star leading the way, it all feels magical while also deeply true. Singing carols, attending Mass, or even saying grace before the holiday meal are small yet powerful ways to praise Jesus together.
