Pop-Up Prayer: Guest Jaqueline Romo

Joe Paprocki Prayer/Guided Reflections

Pop-Up Prayer hosted by Joe Paprocki

I tend to be a “word” person: writing blog posts, articles, and books. Thus, it stands to reason that, for all the years that I kept a prayer journal, I filled it with words. It never occurred to me to express myself in other ways beyond words. In this episode of Pop-Up Prayer, my guest is Jaqueline Romo, campus minister at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Chicago. She talks about creative journaling, which invites people to draw and color in their prayer journals in addition to or in place of words.

Arts and crafts are not my specialty. I am upfront about this with my students, but I don’t want my lack of art skill to mean that we don’t have any artistic activities in our sessions.
