Fully Alive for Kids: A Catholic Advent Devotional

Fully Alive for Kids is a Catholic Advent devotional written by Olivia Spears that invites kids to discover what it means to be fully alive in Jesus.

Jesus came so that we might have life—and life to the full! This Advent, kids are invited to see how Jesus entered into our humanity, grew like we do, and shows us how to become more fully alive in Him.

Each week explores a different way we can grow as children of God:

• Week 1: Play — caring for and using our bodies

• Week 2: Learn — growing in our minds and understanding

• Week 3: Practice — persevering through difficulties and loving others

• Week 4: Grow — deepening our prayer and growing in our outlook

Through the four weeks of Advent, kids will journey through Scripture and the Nativity story while exploring how Jesus grew in His humanity and invites us to grow, too.

Each day includes Scripture, reflections, stories of the Saints, prayer, journaling, coloring pages, Lectio divina, Visio divina, and hands-on activities that help kids put their faith into practice.

With stories featuring Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati, Saint Thomas Aquinas, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, and the Blessed Virgin Mary, Fully Alive for Kids makes Advent personal, practical, and engaging.

This Advent, help your child discover that Jesus didn't come to redeem just one part of us. He came to make us fully alive.
