The Daily Examen
Five quiet movements for reviewing the day in God’s presence. Take as much time as each step needs.
Step 1 of 5
Become present
Settle your breathing and ask to see this day with honesty and gentleness in God’s presence.
Understanding the practice
The Examen is a prayerful review of daily experience in which gratitude, attention, and response belong together. Begin by recognizing God’s presence, then recall the day and notice what draws your attention. Bring a particular moment into prayer and consider how to meet tomorrow. The guide above is our adaptation of this Ignatian practice.
