Guide
How to use a Lent journal
Lent is forty days of prayer, fasting and giving before Easter. A Lent journal gives each day a page and keeps what you've given up and taken on in view, so the season has shape instead of fading by the second week.
Decide your practices
On the 40-day tracker, write what you're giving up and what you're taking on.
Start on Ash Wednesday
In 2027 Lent begins on Wednesday 10 February. Day 1 of the journal is Ash Wednesday.
Write each day
Each daily page has a reading, a reflection prompt, a prayer, an act of kindness and gratitude.
Log giving and fasting
The giving and fasting log records what you fasted from, who you gave to or served, and who you prayed for.
Look back at Easter
Use the reflections box on the tracker to note what changed over the forty days.
What to include in a Lent journal
A Lenten journal should support a daily practice without being heavy. This one includes:
Calendar
Weekly and monthly pages
Dated month calendars from February to April 2027 and a weekly page for each week, for services, fasting days and Holy Week. No daily calendar pages: the 40 Lent day pages do that job.

An example week in a Lent journal
One goal, followed through a single week. The milestone and weekly actions are the kind of lines the AI goal step writes onto your month and week pages; the daily notes are what you add by hand.

See all themesWhen is Lent in 2027?
In Western churches, Lent 2027 begins on Ash Wednesday, 10 February, and Easter Sunday is 28 March. The 40 days traditionally don't count Sundays. Orthodox Easter often falls on a different date.
Does it include Catholic daily readings?
No. Each page has a reading field, so you can follow your church's lectionary, a Lent devotional or a reading plan of your choice.
Is there a free Lent journal?
You can build this Lent journal and flip through every page in your browser for free, with a watermark. The tabs and links work in the preview, so you can check the layout before you pay. The clean PDF is $12 once, or included in Pro at $49 a year for unlimited planners. There is no free download of the full planner.
Does it work with GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes and e-ink tablets?
Yes. Download the iPad size for GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Collanote or ZoomNotes; the Android size for Samsung Notes, Penly, Flexcil or Xodo; or the E-ink size for reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox and Supernote. The links work in any app that follows PDF links, usually in read mode rather than pen mode. Every size is included in the price.
Can I print the Lent journal?
Yes. Choose A5, A4, US Letter or Half Letter in the builder for a printable PDF with a wider inner margin for hole punching. Printable and digital sizes come with the same purchase, so you can use the Lent journal on a tablet and print the pages you want on paper.
When does the Lent journal start, and how long is it?
By default it starts in February 2027 and runs for 3 months, so it covers the run-up, the season itself and the weeks after. While the season is under way it starts in the current month instead. In the builder you can choose any start month and a length from 3 months to 5 years, or switch to undated.
Does the AI fill in the Lent journal for me?
Only the goal parts, and only if you want it to. Type up to six goals and the AI writes a milestone for each month and a short action for each week onto your month and week pages, plus a motto for each month. You can edit every line before you download. Everything else, from the calendar pages to the trackers, is yours to fill in by hand. You can try it 3 times a day without an account.
How many pages is the Lent journal?
With the default settings it comes to about 170 pages. That includes 3 month pages, 13 weekly pages, the Lent Journal, Faith and Gratitude & Journal pages and 20 notes pages. Switching off sections makes it shorter, and the builder shows the total as you change things.
