Today I turn to the Payer of Examen, a prayer that helps me review my prayer and experience of God over this past week.
Below, you will find some reminders about entering into a time of examen.
I place myself in the presence of God, who is father and mother to us, so much more than we can imagine. I settle into His presence and thank Him for accompanying me on my journey.
2. Ask for what you seek.
I ask for the guidance of the Spirit to help me get in touch with my experience of the week. I ask for the ability to recognize, to sense—how the Spirit is leading me through this retreat experience.
3. Reflect on your Experiences of the Week.
…I remember moments of the week…
…I remember resisting God on Day…
…the Spirit was clearly with me on Day…
What will you bring to your spiritual director?
