Some 500 years ago the conversion of What feelings have I experienced and what is God St. Ignatius of Loyola led to a spiritual saying to me through them? Boredom? Resentment? renewal in Catholic Church that Compassion? Anger? Confidence? Note the good continues to bear incredible fruit and the bad and strive to notice God’s presence today. Ignatian spirituality sees God as there. Fourth, recognizing areas that I have fallen deeply involved in our everyday lives, desiring to short, I ask God for forgiveness, for healing, and guide us, bless us, and draw us closer to Him. An for the grace to do better. Lastly, renewed in the essential part of it is the Examen Prayer, which is a knowledge that I am loved, I ask God for the light daily reflection on the events of the day in order to and strength needed for the day to come. I go detect God’s presence and discern his direction for forward in confidence that He is with me. us. My spiritual directors in seminary always  recommended this method of prayer as a way to step Not too difficult right? You can pray it anytime in back from the busyness and routine of the day and the morning, midday, or evening, depending on what open myself to God’s presence. I’ll be honest works best with your schedule. Feel free to cut out though, I was pretty bad at keeping up with it and the prayer card on the other page to help you was never really attracted to it. These past few remember the steps.

Let's of gratitude, and if nothing else, it has been an keep each other in prayer as we journey to incredibly helpful tool to remind myself of the Bethlehem this Advent Season. goodness of God. This Advent Season, I am committing myself to pray it every day and I would like to introduce it to you as well. The Examen is a 15minute prayer made up of five parts:  1. Become aware of God’s presence. 2. Review the day with gratitude. 3. Note significant events and pay attention to  your emotions. 4. Ask for forgiveness. Choose one area of growth and pray from it. 5. Look toward tomorrow.   The first step is to relax, breathe deeply, become aware of God’s presence, and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. I always find it helpful to imagine God’s gaze of love upon me. The second step is gratitude; what am I especially grateful for today? Including both the big things (life, God, relationships) and the small ones (the beautiful day, a compliment, a message from a friend). Next, I reflect on the signifi- cant events of the day.
