Prayer of Examen

REFOCUS OUR HEARTS & MINDS

Beautiful in its simplicity, the Examen is an ancient prayer of reflection that helps refocus our hearts and minds. How often do we come to the end of a day and wonder where the time went, regret the way we handled a situation or treated someone, or didn’t take time to celebrate receiving good news?

Show me the way I should go … Teach me to do your will … lead me on level ground. (Psalm 143:8b, 10a, 10d)
