Praying your Way to Peace and Positivity

Saturday 7th November 2020

Brendan McManus SJ talks about the Examen of Consciousness prayer

5 points of the Examen

• 1. Gratitude. Note the gifts that God’s love has given me this day, and give thanks to God for them.

• 2. Petition. I ask God for an insight and a strength that will make this examen a work of grace, fruitful beyond my human capacity alone.

• 3. Review. With my God, I review the day. I look for the stirrings in my heart and the thoughts that God has given me this day, and those that have not been of God. I review my choices in response to both.

• 4. Forgiveness. I ask for the healing touch of the forgiving God who, with love and respect for me, removes my heart’s burdens.

•  5. Renewal. I look to the following day and, with God, plan concretely how to live it in accord with God’s loving desire for my life.
