Prayer of Examen


One helpful tool for reflective prayer is the Daily Examen developed by St. Ignatious of Loyola. Here is a simplified version to try during this advent season.
  1. Become aware of God's presence.
  2. Review the day with gratitude.
  3. Pay attention to your emotions.
  4. Look toward tomorrow.
During this advent season, may I adopt a rhythm of watchfulness and prayer, attention and reflection.
Come, Lord Jesus, come.
