The Examen is a method of reviewing your day in the presence of God. It’s actually an attitude more than a method, a time set aside for thankful reflection on where God is in your everyday life.
This week’s Intention: Thankful Reflection
Suggested Prayer: The Examen
1. Ask God for light. I want to look at my day with God’s eyes, not merely my own.
2. Give thanks. The day I have just lived is a gift from God. Be grateful for it.
3. Review the day. I carefully look back on the day just completed, being guided by the Holy Spirit.
4. Face shortcomings. I face up to what is wrong – in my life and in me.
5. Look toward the day to come. I ask where I need God in the day to come.
