A Perfect Lenten (and always) Prayer...

The Ignaitan Examen (by St. Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuit Order).


Take 5 minutes at some point today. Slow down. and be led through this prayer. This interactive site is valuable to learn the steps of the process and can be easily memorized/repeated on your own.

1. Become aware of God’s presence.
2. Review the day with gratitude (including blessing and faults).
3. Pay attention to your emotions.

4. Choose one feature of the day and pray from it.
5. Look toward tomorrow (and what God has in store for you).
Interest piqued? Check out the motherload of info on the Examen.
