Three tools for prayer

For every age and season, these tools grow with you.

Daily Examen

The Examination Journal

6-months of daily examination exercises. Wisdom from St. Ignatius, St. Francis de Sales, and St. Teresa of Avila. Imprimatur from the Bishop of Allentown. A guide, an accountability tool, and a daily conversation with God.

Ages 7–16

The Little Prayer Journal

Twelve weeks of daily prayer pages designed for children aged 7 to 16. Simple, structured, and built for the sacramental years and beyond — because kids need their own conversation with God.

We can’t guarantee holiness. But if you’re not satisfied, let us set things right.

The founder story

It started with a problem I couldn’t solve.

“My priest friend finally said: ‘I’m thinking that you’ll have to create something.’ So I did.”

In 2020, I was trying to build a consistent habit of praying the nightly examen. I knew it was good for me. I kept not doing it. I reached out to a priest friend for help. We found plenty of resources explaining how to pray — but nothing that was the right tool. Something short, structured, and accessible. Something you could open at the end of a long day and actually use.

That’s where Pray on Paper began. With a problem and a blank page.

What people are saying

This journal has quietly become the most important fifteen minutes of my day. I’ve tried so many methods — nothing has stuck like this one. It’s simple enough that I actually do it.

— Sarah M., mother of four

I gave the Examination Journal to my RCIA group and the response was overwhelming. People who had never kept a prayer journal before were coming back the next week asking where to get more.

— Fr. David R., parish priest

My daughter used the Little Prayer Journal to prepare for her First Communion. She still uses it. The prompts are gentle and honest — they meet kids exactly where they are.
