Some mornings, the day starts you before you ever get to start the day.
You wake already behind. Already reaching for the phone, already running through your task list list, already giving away the quiet minutes before you notice you had them.
The Slow Morning Journal is an invitation to take a few of them back.
This is not a 365-day commitment or one more thing to fall behind on. There is no streak to keep and no schedule to follow. Inside are 45 unhurried mornings, and you are free to use them your way: one a day, one a week, or whenever you need to slow down and come back to yourself.
Each morning offers a single thought to carry, a few gentle prompts to help you notice what is good and what brings you hope, and space to name an intention and set down what isn't yours to hold. That's all. Just a few honest minutes, chosen on purpose, before the noise begins.

A Catholic Guide to Examination of Conscience & the Sacrament of Reconciliation
By Christina G Stewart
Many Catholics approach the confessional unprepared, unsure, or weighed down by anxiety. They forget what to say. They rush through it. They walk away uncertain whether they covered everything that mattered. And many stay away for years — not because they stopped believing, but because life, suffering, or distance made the way back feel impossibly long.
This guide exists to help with all of that. It will walk you through:
What the sacrament of Reconciliation actually is (and is not)
How to make a thorough examination of conscience — using both the Ten Commandments and the Seven Deadly Sins
What to say when you enter the confessional
What to do after you leave
A daily examen practice to carry the grace of confession forward
