A Daily Examen

As promised from last night's TC meeting, here is the daily Examen. This is a wonderful way to end your day in prayer and reflection.

Use it!

Praying the Jesuit Examination of Conscience

1. Thanksgiving
Lord, I realize that all, even myself, is a gift from you.
- Today, for what things am I most grateful?

2. Intention
Lord, open my eyes and ears to be more honest with myself.
- Today, what do I really want for myself?

3. Examination
Lord, show me what has been happening to me and in me this day.
- Today, in what ways have I experienced your love?

4. Contrition
Lord, I am still learning to grow in your love.
- Today, what choices have been inadequate responses to your love?

5. Hope
Lord, let me look with longing toward the future.
- Today, how will I let you lead me to a brighter tomorrow?
