A Lenten Journal

Meditate ...as you write
                     ...as you color
                              ...as you sketch.

Throughout the ages, Catholic writers have stressed the importance of meditation, or mental prayer, for growth in holiness.  Lifting our hearts to God, and then entering into conversation with Him—prayer—is the ultimate goal of meditation. 

My Lenten Journal encourages meditation as you write prayers from the Mass, as you color symbols representing truths of our Faith, and as you copy or interpret these symbols through sketching.  

• Prayers for each day of Lent taken from the Collects of the Mass.
• Space for copying the prayer or for recording your own thoughts and inspirations.
• Illustrations of Lenten symbols for coloring and sketching, complete with explanations.

May this little booklet make it easier for you to think of God and divine things and rest in His presence in silent prayer.
