Why A Mass Journal?

Intentionally preparing for Mass, recording where God is speaking to you through the readings and the homily, and then making written commitments is a proven method for growing in faith!

Prepare for Mass

The ESS Mass journal is intentionally designed to help you prepare for Mass! Each journal includes:

  • Full Mass readings for each Sunday and Solemnity so you can pre-read before Mass
  • The exact translation used at Mass
  • Thick, eco-friendly paper — perfect for underlining, highlighting, and notes
  • Durable cloth hardcover binding in 2 different color options
  • Mass responses and key prayers

write and reflect

After each set of readings, there is a simple, 4-part journaling template:

  • Scripture Speaks: Re-write and reflect on a verse from the weekly readings
  • Weekly Intentions: Offer up a prayer of thanksgiving and a prayer request
  • Notes: Reflect on the readings, take notes on the homily, or journal about how God is speaking to you through the Mass
  • Go Forth: Commit to growing your faith with one action that week

Go Forth In Peace!

Each Mass journal is designed to help you carry the abundant graces of the Mass into your daily life! We’ve seen these benefits in our own lives:

  • Deeper trust and peace in discerning God’s will
  • Stronger prayer routine by building on the habit of going to Mass
  • More profound understanding of the natural rhythm of the liturgical year
  • More frequent opportunities to talk about the homily with kids and family
  • And more!

“

I'm obsessed with my journal! I used to space out during the homily. Ever since I started using ESS, I am fully present, enamored by the beauty of Mass and the Word of God."

“

I love my ESS journal. It has literally deepened my love of the Mass and Scriptures. I now come to Mass a little earlier so I can review my week and write what I’m thankful for, write down the petitions of my heart, and read over the day’s Scripture.
