THY OLIVE TREE ORIGINAL
Lectio Divina: 30 Days of Peace is a Catholic prayer journal designed to guide you through 30 days of Scripture meditation using the ancient practice of Lectio Divina, or "Divine Reading."
Each day features a carefully selected Bible passage centered on the theme of peace, with ample space to highlight, underline, reflect, and write. Rather than searching for Scripture each day, the passages are printed directly in the journal so you can focus on reading, meditation, prayer, and contemplation.
The included Lectio Divina bookmark guides you through the steps of Lectio Divina, making it easy to develop a simple and consistent rhythm of prayer. Dedicated journaling space also gives you a place to connect your Scripture reading and prayer with your daily life.
Inspired by ancient illuminated manuscripts, the design of this journal draws from the visual tradition of the Church and invites you to slow down, enter into Scripture, and draw closer to Christ.
This Catholic devotional journal has received the Catholic Writers Guild "Seal of Approval" for quality writing and faithfulness to Catholic teaching.
