A Lamp & A Light: A Lectio Divina Journal for Kids

$18.00

Teach your children how to pray with Scripture the way the Church has done for centuries.

Lectio divina is an ancient practice rooted in the early Church. The purpose is to pray with Scripture, allowing the Lord to speak to us through His Word. This is the method employed by saints throughout the history of the Church! 

We made this lectio divina journal for kids ages 8-18. Each spread walks the child through the four movements of lectio divina:

  • Lectio (Reading)
  • Meditatio (Meditation)
  • Oratio (Prayer)
  • Contemplatio (Contemplation)

With intentional, repetitive prompting questions, the child will build the habit of prayerful reflection on the Word of God.

We provide 40 carefully-selected Scripture passages for them that engage the imagination and lend themselves well to this prayer. Then, we leave them 20 blank pages for them to select their own Scripture passage with which to pray! 

The journal is meant for boys and girls. It has a dark navy, vegan leather cover, thick interior pages that stand up to pens and highlighters, and a satin gold ribbon for place holding.

It is the perfect meaningful Christmas, birthday, or Confirmation gift!

Now I want one for me!

This is beautiful and so well thought-out. I think every person in my household would benefit from one of these. I showed it to our friend Fr. Sean (who does not readily hand out his stamp of approval on materials haha!) and he loved it and immediately commented this would be just as good for adults to use as well.

Not just for kids!

Through the gift of a donor, I bought these as thank you gifts for my catechists. What a beautiful way to invite them deeper into prayer with our Lord through Scripture!

Just Beautiful

This journal is amazing! It arrived beautifully packaged with a personalized card. The journal is perfect for reflection and hope it will be an insightful aid to my granddaughters after their confirmation. I looked in many catalogues and in a few stores and could find nothing as well put together as those journals. Thank you so much for creating this.

Hi Mary Kaye! Thanks so much for the review. I'm so happy you like the Lectio Journal! Praise the Lord!

Great journal

This lectio divina journal is a great resource, not just for kids, but for adults too. My husband and I recently learned more about lectio divina at our parish Bible study. Since I am new at this type of prayer, I wanted a journal to help guide me. This one is perfect in that it has the Bible reading (lectio) and then questions and suggestions for meditatio, oratio, and contemplatio. Other journals I saw were just basically blank lines with no guide. I really like this one and would recommend it to anyone of any age.

Hi Lori! So pleased to hear the Lectio is working for you and your family! God bless!
