Lent is a season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving—a time when we prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter. But let’s be honest: while many adults struggle to stay engaged throughout Lent, it can be even more challenging for children to understand and embrace this sacred season.
That’s why I’m thrilled to share and support Hallow’s Lenten prayer challenge for kids: The Little Way. This brand-new offering from Hallow Kids is the biggest children’s prayer launch in their history, and it’s designed specifically for families with children ages 6-12. Through engaging, audio-guided meditations, The Little Way helps kids journey closer to Christ in a way that speaks to their hearts and imaginations.
A New Way to Pray as a Family
Each day during Lent, children and families can listen to a new, immersive episode that introduces them to universal Church prayers, saint stories, and even kid-focused Sunday homilies from a priest. This challenge makes prayer not just accessible but truly enjoyable for young hearts and minds.
At the heart of The Little Way are two beloved characters, Paul and Mia, who serve as companions on this faith-filled journey. They explore new aspects of faith each day and meet a other characters along the way. Through their adventures, kids will not only learn about faith but also be encouraged to grow in love and virtue in their everyday lives—just as St. Thérèse of Lisieux taught through her own “little way.”
Why ‘The Little Way’ is Perfect for Lent
Lent is a season that calls all of us to deeper conversion, but often, we overcomplicate things. St. Thérèse reminds us that holiness isn’t about grand gestures but about doing small things with great love. This Lenten challenge helps children embrace that truth in a way that is meaningful and age-appropriate.
Each session, which ranges from 7 to 15 minutes, can easily become part of a family’s morning routine, incorporated into bedtime prayers, or even used in Catholic school or parish classrooms. The simplicity and accessibility of this program make it a perfect addition to any family’s Lenten observance.
More Than Just Listening—Building a Faith Community
The Little Way isn’t just about listening—it’s about living the faith. Families can also enjoy weekly Family Game Night activities on Saturdays, making Lent a time of both prayer and togetherness. These activities encourage conversation, strengthen family bonds, and help children apply what they are learning in their daily lives.
And here’s the amazing part: over 13,000 families around the world have already signed up for The Little Way! That means children everywhere are taking part in a shared experience of growing in holiness together.
Join the Journey
If you’re looking for a way to make Lent more engaging for your children, The Little Way is a perfect solution. It provides the structure, guidance, and inspiration to help kids embrace prayer and grow closer to Jesus in a way that is joyful and meaningful.
Hallow’s mission is to help families encounter Christ through prayer, and this Lenten challenge does exactly that. So why not make this Lent one to remember? Join thousands of families and begin The Little Way on Ash Wednesday. Let’s help our children discover that holiness isn’t about doing big things—it’s about doing little things with great love. And that’s a lesson we all need, no matter our age.
