Daily Examen

A guided prayer that walks you through your past 24 hours to find where God was present and at work.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola considered the Examen to be the single most important exercise a person could do every day. By praying the Examen, we become more adept at listening to God and working with God in the ongoing project of building a good life.

At its most basic, the Examen is answering the question: “What has God been doing in my life?” In practicing the Examen, we move out of the normal flow of everyday experience and turn our attention to specific aspects of life.
