40 Ways for 40 Days- Printable checklist with doable items for kids & families!


In remembrance of Jesus’s forty days in the desert, each year the Church invites us into our own forty days of penance and preparation during Lent.

How can you pray, fast, and give this Lent? We’ve got a list of 40 ways you can grow in love of both God and neighbor during these holy forty days. Print out this list, hang it on your fridge and work on it as a family, or stick it in your Bible, planner, or journal to work on individually. Click here to download!

*Thanks to some generous readers, we now have this printable available in FIVE languages! Scroll to the bottom of the post to download in Spanish, French, Dutch, and German!

You can read more about prayer, fasting, and almsgiving in our new book All about Lent & Holy Week: Sharing the Seasons of Repentance & Salvation with Children. These resources were made in cooperation with Shari Van Vranken of Catholic Paper Goods using artwork from our new book!

You can find it at The St. Paul Center here or on Amazon here, or we'd love for you to ask for it at your local Catholic book store. It's also available as an ebook in both places if that's more your style! 


And you can find all of the free resources linked in this post:
