Catholic Guided Meditation Script for Kids:

Take a deep breath in… and slowly breathe out. Let’s try that again — a deep, gentle breath in through your nose… and out through your mouth. One more time — in… and out.

As you breathe slowly and calmly, feel your body start to relax. Your shoulders drop gently. Your arms and legs become soft and still. Let your thoughts slow down too. You don’t need to think about anything else right now. This is your special time — just you and God.

Now gently close your eyes. Imagine that you are standing in a peaceful place — a quiet path that leads into a beautiful garden. As you begin to walk down the path, you feel a soft breeze on your face. The air smells sweet — like flowers and sunshine.

All around you, you hear the sounds of nature — birds singing, leaves rustling in the trees, and the gentle flow of a small stream nearby. You feel safe. You feel calm. And you know that God is with you.

As you walk deeper into the garden, you see butterflies fluttering from flower to flower. The flowers bloom in every color you can imagine — pink, purple, yellow, white, and blue. There’s a soft patch of grass under your feet, and the sky above you is bright and full of light. You can feel peace all around you — like the garden is giving you a big, gentle hug.

Then, just ahead, you see someone waiting for you. It’s Jesus. He’s sitting on a wooden bench under a tall tree, and His eyes light up when He sees you. His smile is warm and kind, and His arms open wide as if to say, “I’ve been waiting for you!” You feel happy and excited as you walk toward Him. You sit beside Him, and He gently holds your hand.

Jesus looks at you with love in His eyes. “I’m so glad you’re here,” He says. “You are My precious child. I made you, I know you, and I love you just as you are.” He says your name and reminds you that you are never alone. “I am always with you,” He tells you. “Even when you can’t see Me, I am right there in your heart.”

You sit quietly with Jesus. You feel His love all around you — like warm sunshine on your skin. He listens as you talk to Him in your heart. You can tell Him anything. Maybe you want to say thank You — for your family, your friends, your toys, your home. Or maybe there’s something that’s been bothering you — something that made you sad or afraid. You can tell Jesus that too. He listens with a heart full of love and understanding.

Jesus gently says, “Whenever you feel hurt, or worried, or even angry — come to Me. I will help you. You don’t have to carry those feelings all by yourself. I am your friend, and I will walk with you through everything.” You feel so peaceful sitting with Him. You know that Jesus is someone you can trust — someone who always loves you, no matter what.

Now Jesus asks, “Would you like to pray with Me?” You nod, and He smiles. He begins to speak, and you repeat His words in your heart:

“Dear God,
Thank You for loving me.
Thank You for my life and the people who care for me.
Help me to be kind and brave.
Help me to love others like You love me.
Be with me in everything I do.
Amen.”

You and Jesus sit in silence for a little longer, just enjoying each other’s presence. The birds continue to sing, and the sunlight glows gently through the trees. This moment feels peaceful, like everything is right in the world. Jesus turns to you and says, “Remember, you can come talk to Me anytime — in the morning, during the day, or at night before bed. I’ll always be here.”

Before you leave the garden, Jesus gives you a warm hug. He places His hand gently over your heart and says, “I will always be with you.” You feel His love deep inside you — like a light that never goes out.

You thank Him for spending this special time with you, and slowly, you begin to walk back down the path, knowing that you are never really leaving — because Jesus is with you, wherever you go.

Take another deep breath in… and slowly breathe out. Wiggle your fingers gently. Wiggle your toes. When you’re ready, slowly open your eyes.

​You are calm. You are loved. And Jesus is always with you.
