“Be Yourself” Prayer Journal Parties for Girls: Themes, Prompts and Mini Lesson Plans

farmto table (1)

This article contains affiliate links.

The Be Yourself Journal can easily be used in a group setting. Some parishes are using it in small groups already!!

Other moms are considering using it for a birthday party/ sleepover theme.

Both are GREAT ideas and I encourage you to consider how you can share this journal in a fun way to a special young woman in your life!

BeYourselfparty

The Be Yourself Journal was written to meet young girls where they are; and no matter where they are on their spiritual journey, girls, like all people, are not meant to be islands. Girls are social by nature. Knowing that, I wrote the book with many pages that could be shared with friends. There are pages that the user will want to do alone and keep personal. But there is a great balance in this book of personal and social, light and serious, prayer and inspiration.

While I am working with Gracewatch Media to create a leader’s guide for the journal, I wanted to give you a sneak peak on what to expect. Here are some ideas on how to use the journal in a group setting.

Theme 1: Creation- Meant for Fun

Materials:

Be Yourself: A Catholic Journal for Girls

Gel pens

Colored Pencils 

Highlighters

Procedure:

  1. Give the books to the girls and encourage them to check it out! Tell them to fill out the page titled “Your Beauty Basics” (If the “Let your light shine coloring page: page 1, then your beauty basics is page 4) and reassure them that it’s okay to doodle and color 🙂
  2. Once this is completed, allow them to share with one another. Then turn their attention back to page 2 which quotes the Catechism.  Ask for a volunteer to read each quote.  Then, draw the girls’ attention to the beginning of the last quote, “GOD CREATED EVERYTHING FOR YOU . . .).  That will be the focus of today’s session.
  3. Turn the girls attention (and books) to the God’s Creation page.  Have someone read the top out loud.  Allow the girls time to read the aspects of Our Lord’s creation that are listed.  Encourage them to highlight, circle or draw hearts around all the ones they truly appreciate. Then ask them for suggestions on what else could be added to the list.  Finally, allow them time to choose and write their “top three”.
  4. Next, have the girls fill out the next two pages.  Give plenty of time, but ask them for this part that they stay focused on the pages titled “God’s Creation & You” and “Would you Rather”.  Allow them to talk and share if they wish – but not required.  Let them know that they will be asked to share and discuss the Would you rather page, but not the personal favorites page.
  5. Have everyone pick a random partner and share their “would you rather” answers. Direct them to draw a heart next to the responses that match.  Switch partners several times and repeat!

Wrap it up!

Ask the group if they ever thought about or realized that God created so many things for them to enjoy. Point out that our uniqueness can be seen in that we all don’t enjoy creation the same way.  Encourage the young women to take time each day to thank God for at least one aspect of His creation.

Have more time?

If at the end of any session, you find yourself with more time, allow the girls to color one of the 20 coloring pages!  Let them choose which one!


 

 

Theme 2: Bloom Where You are Planted

Materials:

The Be Yourself Journal

Glue sticks

Photographs of the girls with one or more people (tell them to bring at least 10 pictures!)

Holy Cards

Scrapbooking Supplies

Created to Create Starter Kit from DaySpring (optional, but these are perfect prompts for prayer journaling!)

Clear contact paper

Magazines

stickers

Procedure:

  1.  Redirect girls to the quotes from the Catechism on page 2 of the journal:

GOD ESTABLISHED YOU IN HIS FRIENDSHIP.

based on Catechism of the Catholic Church #355

GOD CREATED YOU BOTH BODY AND SOUL.

based on Catechism of the Catholic Church #382

GOD CREATED EVERYTHING FOR YOU. BUT YOU IN TURN WERE CREATED TO SERVE AND LOVE GOD AND TO OFFER ALL CREATION BACK TO HIM.

based on Catechism of the Catholic Church #358

2. Tell the girls we’re going to look at YOU today.  Reassure each young lady that God created her on purpose and for a specific mission.

3. Direct them to the first Saint Spotlight.  Take a look at the “snapshot”.  Make sure they each know what a “pet peeve” is and give an example of one.  After they read the “snapshot” of St. Catherine of Siena, ask them if it were a snapshot of each of them, what would it say – ask for volunteers to give answers of nicknames, advice to others, pet peeves, etc.

4.  Read the letter from Saint Catherine.  First out loud, then have each girl read it silently.  Tell them to highlight or underline something they want to remember.  Once the letter was read twice, really talk about all the labels and pressures we put on ourselves and that our culture stresses.  Remind them that only one label is important . . . being the eternal daughter of God the Father.  Reassure the girls that yes, we should give the Lord our time and talents, but when those things become burdens or stressors, we need to trust God with them and only concern ourselves with our love for Him.

5. One way to serve and love God is to love and help others.  Mother Teresa had great advice:

Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you”

Saint Teresa of Calcutta

LOVECOLLAGE.jpg

Take the girls to this page of the journal.  Have them take out their pictures they brought and glue pictures of them with one other person.  Remind them that they have done God’s will in their lives when they have loved others.  Allow girls to embellish the page with stickers, washi tape  and any other way their creativity prompts them.

6. Next, direct them towards the back cover.  The directions for the back cover are inside the book on one of the very last pages.  Give them time to pick out a holy card, a picture of themselves, inspirational words and pretty stickers.  Give them a piece of scrapbooking paper to use as a canvas.  Encourages them to color “Let your light shine” with gel pens.  Once they have completed the back cover, help them protect it with clear contact paper.

7.  If there is more time, allow them to explore the book on their own and pick something to read or questions to work on.  Advise them to write questions they have down on the page after the Saint Catherine of Siena letter.

These are just two samples of what to expect in a soon to be published “Leader’s Guide”.

    Such fabulous ideas! Thank you. I especially love the idea of giving them as party gifts. Especially when you consider how much people spend on birthday parties. Maybe even ask parents to pitch in money in lieu of buying gifts for the birthday girl. I bought one for my 11 yr old daughter for St Nicholas Day & I can’t wait to give it to her.

GUIDE: How to Plan your Own Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat

Be Yourself! Journal

Journal for tweens and teens

prayerwinechocolate

Friendship can be confusing to tween and teens. th Friendship can be confusing to tween and teens. they hear “love one another” but are not taught that there are different kinds of love and that friendship is meant to be selective. Saint John Bosco left similar advice. He said:
“Fly from bad companions as from the bite of a poisonous snake. If you keep good companions, I can assure you that you will one day rejoice with the blessed in Heaven; whereas if you keep with those who are bad, you will become bad yourself, and you will be in danger of losing your soul.”
Yes, love! But love God above all and remember “Faithful friends are a sturdy shelter; whoever finds one finds a treasure” (Sirach 6:14).

Let’s talk about Catholic gifts for men… My h Let’s talk about Catholic gifts for men…

My husband’s birthday was on Monday, and I was so excited to give him this book from Voyage Comics!

The truth is, him and I are both fans of this small Catholic business.

Our son loves their comic books too!

Catholic gifts for women often seem plentiful… but when it comes to men, well … shopping for them can be more of a challenge.

I love how the men over at Voyage Comics create extremely incredible content and works of art that entertain without compromising virtue.
I love that I can say to my son and other young people, “look, you can enjoy your work and give glory to God at the same time”!

If you want to give an inspiring gift for Father’s Day… and make your husband or dad smile that this handsome guy… definitely go shopping at Voyage Comics!

Friends!!! Please join me in welcoming Katie home! Friends!!! Please join me in welcoming Katie home! Katie fully entered the Catholic Church on Sunday!

Katie was raised by wonderful Christian parents in the New Apostolic Church and I honestly want to really get her to share her conversion story.
Until then
I will say this… 

never hesitate to invite someone to pray the Rosary with you!

Katie embraced the Rosary as a Christian 
and funny story… I remember her holding it once and saying “I’m not converting “ as her Catholic husband walked by us 😂 

Truth be told, Katie has helped me pull off every single Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat since the very beginning!

Watching her research and completing dive into the Word with her whole heart has been a beautiful, inspiring sight.

And quite frankly, between her and Mark Wahlburg… I think I hear about the Hallow app at least 3 times a day 😆.
Seriously @hallowapp , you should hire her 😉😜!
Welcome Katie and drop a hug emoji below!!!
Love you Katie @craftymom714 !!!!

How can we love our identity and still be humble? How can we love our identity and still be humble?

Does that sound like a good title for a talk?

I’m working on a “Talk” on Identity (or a blog post if I chicken out 🐓)… and I’m really liking the topic of humility… along with modesty.
My plan was to post this morning and ask for your prayers… but along the way I saw that today is Saint Philip Neri’s feast day.
So, naturally, I googled “Saint Philip Neri humility”.
To my delight, I found this quote:

“Humility is the safeguard of chastity. In the matter of purity, there is no greater danger than not fearing the danger. 

For my part, when I find a man secure of himself and without fear, I give him up for lost. I am less alarmed for one who is tempted and who resists by avoiding the occasions, than for one who is not tempted and is not careful to avoid occasions. When a person puts himself in an occasion, saying, I shall not fall, it is an almost infallible sign that he will fall, and with great injury to his soul.”

I feel like some great message is coming together here, but, I need your prayers.

I mean, I don’t even know if posting about humility on Instagram is like, a total oxymoron?

I’m so thankful to have Scripture and the writing of Saints to help me. I’m also extremely grateful for your prayers.

May we both live as it is written in 1 Peter 5:5 ~
“And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility in your dealings with one another, for:
“God opposes the proud
but bestows favor on the humble.”
* if you like that Saint Philip Neri quote, you can see and share it over at @catholicsonline 

Do you have any questions or thoughts on humility?
Let me know in the comments!

Do our sons understand what it means to be a “sp Do our sons understand what it means to be a “spiritual warrior “? Do we?

I learned and relearned a ton of things writing Be Yourself: a Journal for Catholic Boys.

Here’s what we all need to know about being a “Spiritual Warrior “:

1. Yes, there is a battle between good and evil and we are all in the midst of it. Years ago, in cartoons, it was common to see a devil on one shoulder and an Angel on another. It was CLEAR which voice was good and which was evil. The animation gave us a visual of what we were very familiar with.  Today, we must work a little harder so that all of us are detecting what is good and what is evil.

2. You don’t walk out onto a battlefield unprepared.
You put on your suit of armor and you bring your weapon. You do this FIRST! Faith is our shield, prayer is our greatest weapon. In other words, God has to be number one if we want to truly protect our soul. Knowing God has to be not only a priority, but our first priority.

3. We are not alone, but not everyone is going to grow in virtue. The virtues are our “armor of light” that protect us from the enemy. We would be wise to follow the advice of St. Francis de Sales in this, “Love everyone with a strenuous love based on charity, but form friendships only with those who can share virtuous things with you.”
Want to help your son on the battlefield?

Prayer of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus O Jesu Prayer of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus

O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests;
for your unfaithful and tepid priests;
for your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields;
for your tempted priests;
for your lonely and desolate priests;
for your young priests;
for your dying priests;
for the souls of your priests in purgatory.

But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me:
the priest who baptized me;
the priests who absolved me from my sins;
the priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me your Body and Blood in Holy Communion;
the priests who taught and instructed me;
all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way (especially …).

O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart,
and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity.
Amen.

I have a super sweet story to share with you! Las I have a super sweet story to share with you!

Last evening my husband and I decided that we were long overdue for praying a Rosary with the family.

We have friends searching for jobs that have asked us to pray and many others intentions.

Our kids were outside playing with a little girl who lives up the road.

I walked outside with a bunch of tangled up Rosaries (see reel I made yesterday) and told my 3 children they had to come in to pray the Rosary.

My daughter, who made this Rosary for me, asked if their friend could pray with us.

I said she was, of course, welcome to pray with us!

All 4 kids came inside and my son volunteered to lead the first decade. Our 9 year old guest led a decade too!

She stumbled a little with the words to the Hail Mary but by the end of her decade, I was so impressed.

Once we were done praying my husband complimented our young guest on how well she did.
It was such a beautiful, unexpected event.
What a great reminder… courtesy of my daughter in Kindergarten… to always invite others to pray with you!

“I don’t even remember that”~ my Mom. When I “I don’t even remember that”~ my Mom.
When I told my mom how she inspired the title of the Be Yourself Journal, that was her response 😂.
As a tired Mama, I so appreciate this now.
It’s amazing what God’s grace and a mother’s love can do!
My mom felt bad that I felt left out. But, she was also tired and was probably in survival mode with 3 or 4 children at that point.
I get that now.
But God took what my mom didn’t say and placed in my heart the contents of the book I get to the author of!
I am finding so much relief in this realization today.
I often see my shortcomings as a Mother.
I’m tired.
I’m still disorganized like I was before motherhood.
But I do have faith in God and love for my children.
I believe that God knew exactly what He was doing when He chose me to be the mother of my children.
He knows my strengths and weaknesses.
His grace is sufficient… for all mothers.
Praise the Lord!
Happy Mother’s Day!

Share this post and remind others that it’s totally okay to not be perfect.
Keep loving!

Did you know Our Lady of Fatima taught the three y Did you know Our Lady of Fatima taught the three young children a couple of prayers?

The Blessed Mother taught the children to offer all their personal sacrifices to God by praying:
O My Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Another prayer Our Lady taught the children was:

O My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy.

I love how Our Blessed Mother encourages to us to start a prayer by addressing the Lord with these words:
“O my Jesus…”
One of my favorite prayers was taught to the Fatima children by an angel.
This is that prayer:

My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love Thee! I ask pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love Thee.

Today, May 13th, is the feast of Our Lady of Fatima.
Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!

Sometimes, when I go to Mass, the homily isn’t e Sometimes, when I go to Mass, the homily isn’t exactly stellar…

But bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Sometimes, when I attend Mass, the other people in the pews don’t participate in the prayers or sing the hymns…

But bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit and the instrumentality of the priest. The whole Christ is truly present.

Sometimes, when I’m at Mass my own mind wanders and I’m distracted by children who can’t sit still…

But bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.

An incredible miracle happens at every Catholic Mass… 

The whole Christ is truly present -- body, blood, soul, and divinity -- under the appearances of bread and wine, the glorified Christ who rose from the dead. This is what the Church means when she speaks of the "Real Presence" of Christ in the Eucharist.

The Eucharist is the body of Jesus Christ, which was given up for me and you.
