Providence Examen

The examen prayer is a way of looking with God back over your day, noticing how God was with you and how you responded to God’s invitation to draw near to God. This way of praying was developed by St. Ignatius Loyola, and Jesuits, as well as people all through the world, enter into this reflective prayer daily. You can find out more here.
