Help Cathy Self-Publish Her Prayer Journal
Donation protected
Hi, friends! My name is Cathy. I’m not one to start a gofundme for creative projects, but I feel the Lord tugging me to open my heart and trust in His provision through the support of others.
After experiencing a traumatic car accident in October of 2020, I was diagnosed with a sleeping disorder. In the six months following my accident, I struggled with severe fatigue and near debilitating sleepiness. In desperation and exhaustion one evening, I broke down in prayer and begged Christ to heal me, promising that I would create something beautiful for Him if I was healed.
He heard my cry, and in response, I wrote the Sacred Heart to Heart prayer journal.
This journal was designed to encourage intimate, fruitful conversation with Jesus Christ by helping you create space for the Lord to speak before your heart responds. It will contain easy to follow prompts for personal daily prayer, giving you an opportunity to store a collection of spiritual exchanges with the One who hungers for you. There will also be simple monthly "Heart Checks" to help you examine your own heart and reflect on the ways Christ might be inviting you to go deeper. Quotes from well-known Catholic saints (and hand lettered by me) will be threaded throughout to spark inspiration when you're not quite sure what to say. The purpose of this journal is to cultivate a deep and abiding union between Jesus’ heart and your own, and I would love to reach as many souls as possible with it.
But I need your help!
As you know, designing and self-publishing a book costs money. I have been blessed to connect with Lauren Santos, an El Paso, TX based artist and owner of When Beauty Met Truth on Etsy. This campaign will help me commission Lauren for the cover art, interior design, and journal formatting. I would be so grateful for anything you're able to contribute. With your help, I will be able to finish this project and keep my promise to the Lord. Any money raised over the amount I will use to print and hand out free copies at my local parish.
I can't wait to share the Sacred Heart to Heart journal with you. Thank you all so much for your support. Please be assured of my prayers!
