The Examen Prayer

I click next when I'm ready
I become aware of the sounds around me...
I become of aware of my breathing...
I take time to slow down...
I mention any grace I feel I need at this moment
rest
stillness for my heart
sorrow for my sins
openness
gratitude
generosity
What grace do I seek in my prayer now?
One by one, I name the little things I am thankful for.
Now I mention the things I am most grateful for today.
How do I feel about these moments?
I take my time recalling and naming these moments.
What were the most loving things I have done so far today?
Next, I review my day...
What feeling is evoked in me as I recall these things?
I also take time recalling and naming these moments.
What were the least loving things I have done to others?
I end by asking for the grace I need as I look forward to another day.
Amen.
