The Jesus’ Lambs path of evangelization aims at the spiritual awakening of toddlers aged 3-5 years. At this age, the child awakens to life. Initiating him to prayer is essentially to help him turn to God and enter a relationship of love and tenderness with Him.
The Word of God is at the heart of every Jesus’ Lambs meeting.
It is repeated several times so that the child can keep it in his heart. It inspires prayer. It causes wonder at the beauty of creation. It illuminates the various witnesses. It teaches the child’s heart that his God is a God of love and tenderness. The meetings generally take place every two weeks and last approximately one hour.
Jesus’ Lambs is first and foremost the meeting of the child’s heart with the Heart of God.

Testimonials
“We accompany 40 Lambs. It’s hard to master them. We need great patience, and through that we have discovered God’s patience with us.”
One evening, when I was putting little Jacob down for the night, I asked him if he wanted to say a prayer with me for Jesus: “What could we thank him for?” He replied: “For the day…” and added: “For the Spirit that he gave us.” “Saint Joseph teaches us to love Mary, because he loved her first.”
When we came across the figure of Jesus praying, I asked the children, “Who is Jesus praying for?” “He is praying for his Lambs!”
“Thank you Jesus for protecting me and my family. I believe in you. I love you.”
