Examen Prayer. Please Read the Examen Prayer below:
The Examen Prayer
This outline is based on Ignatius’s presentation of the examen in the Spiritual Exercises (n.43). And is altered from Fr. Gallagher’s book The Examen Prayer.
Transition: Humilitas & Caritas. I become aware of the love with which God the Father looks upon me as I begin this examen.
Step One: Gratitude. I note the gifts and blessing that the Father’s love has given me this day, and I give thanks to Him for his grace.
Step Two: Petition. I ask the Holy Spirit for an insight and strength that will make this examen a work of grace, fruitful beyond my human capacity.
Step Three: Review. With Jesus, I review the day in general. I look for and at the stirrings in my heart and the thoughts that have been from God and not from Him this day. I review my choices in response to both.
Step Four: Forgiveness. I ask for the healing touch of our merciful Father who, with love and respect for me, heals my heart’s burdens.
Step Five: Renewal. I look to the following day and, with the Holy Spirit, plan concretely how to live it in accord with God’s loving plan and desire for my life.
Transition: Aware of God’s presence with me, I prayerfully conclude the examen.
