I AM Lenten Study for Catholic Families with Young Children

What is the I AM Study? 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,
