Have you ever heard the Gospel proclaimed at Mass and found yourself thinking, How did God know I needed to hear that today? Or opened the Psalms to discover that the inspired words somehow gave voice to a prayer you couldn’t quite articulate yourself?

I have experienced those moments too.

I remember when praying with Scripture shifted from something I checked off my prayer list to a genuine conversation with God. Learning to pray with lectio divina taught me to slow down and pause instead of rushing to the next verse. As I lingered over a single word or phrase, I began to recognize God’s gentle voice. His Word wasn’t simply a story from long ago—it was alive, personal, and speaking into my own life.

The more I prayed with Scripture, the more I realized that God wasn’t distant or silent. He was meeting me in His Word.

Since then, I no longer open my Bible simply out of obligation. I open it expecting an encounter with the living God.

That is why I am so excited about  Blessed Is She’s Catholic Scripture Summit, running online from July 30 through August 2.

Encounter God Through His Word

This four-day virtual event is designed to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus through Sacred Scripture.

Whether you are opening your Bible for the first time or have spent years praying with Scripture, this summit will encourage you to listen for God’s voice, deepen your prayer life, and discover how His Word can transform your everyday life.

What You’ll Learn

This summit is practical in its approach. Rather than simply talking about Scripture, these sessions will help you pray with it.

Throughout eleven inspiring talks, you’ll explore topics including:

• Sacred Scripture as a place of encounter
• A Catholic’s guide to reading and living Scripture
• Learning to pray with lectio divina
• Ignatian contemplation
• The genius of women in Scripture
• Building a daily habit of praying with Scripture

Whether you’ve wondered how to pray with Scripture, how to hear God’s voice more clearly, or how to develop a consistent habit of opening your Bible, you’ll come away with practical tools rooted in the rich tradition of the Catholic Church.

Go at Your Own Pace

The entire Catholic Scripture Summit is completely virtual, making it easy to participate wherever you are.

Your registration includes:

• Eleven inspiring talks
• A fully virtual experience you can join from anywhere in the world
• Replay access so you can revisit every session at your own pace
• Exclusive access to the Blessed is She Member Community throughout the summit

Life is busy, and spiritual growth doesn’t always happen according to our calendars. With replay access, you can return to the sessions again and again as the Lord continues speaking long after the summit ends. 

You’re Not Walking Alone

One of the greatest gifts of Catholic life is community. There is something beautiful about growing in faith alongside other women who also desire to know Christ more deeply through His Word.

Throughout the summit, you will have access to the Blessed is She Member Community, where women will gather for conversation, encouragement, prayer, and discussion as they journey through each session together.

Beth Davis, Steph Salinas, and Jenna Guizar will host the summit, guiding you through four days of prayer, encouragement, and practical wisdom alongside an incredible lineup of trusted Catholic speakers.

A Beautiful Companion for Your Scripture Journey

As you plan to spend four days immersed in Sacred Scripture, you may also be looking for a Bible that gives you space to reflect along the way.

The Blessed Is She Catholic Journaling Bible was created with that purpose in mind. Its clean, single-column layout makes Scripture easy to read, while generous margins provide space to write prayers, insights, and reflections. Thoughtful devotionals, prompts, and artwork encourage you to linger with God’s Word, making it a wonderful companion for both the summit and your daily prayer life.

If portability is more your style, the Catholic Compact Journaling Bible offers many of those same features in a size that’s easy to take anywhere. It’s perfect for praying in a coffee shop, during your lunch break, while waiting in the carpool line, or winding down before bed. It’s a reminder that God’s Word can accompany you wherever life takes you.

Both editions invite you to do more than read Scripture—they encourage you to listen, respond, and record the ways God is speaking to your heart. Over time, your Bible can become a beautiful testimony of your journey with the Lord.

Come Expecting More

If you have ever found yourself asking:

• How do I pray with Scripture?
• How can I make reading the Bible a daily habit?
• How is God speaking to me through His Word?

then the Catholic Scripture Summit was created for you.

My prayer is that these four days help you discover what I did years ago: Scripture isn’t simply something we read. It’s a place where we meet the Lord.

I hope you will join us July 30 through August 2.

God is always speaking. Come discover what He wants to say to you through His Word.
