Evening Examen to Review the Day (Ignatian-style): 

After you have quieted yourself and have become aware of God’s loving gaze and presence, actively prepare your heart to be open and responsive to the spiritual movements Holy Spirit may reveal to you in your review of the day.  

  1. Pray for grace to see clearly. Lord, I pray for the grace to consider my internal and external life truthfully and to share Your desire for my life. 

  2. Pray with gratitude. Holy Spirit, I pray for you to reveal 3 moments from today. May I be grateful to God for these gifts.  

  3. Review the emotions from today. Lord, show me the emotions I had today, whether strong or gentle, as I reacted or responded to the day’s events. 

  4. Choose one emotion and pray from it. Lord, I offer up this emotion and want to talk with you about it.  I will listen deeply to you for any answer, insight or direction you have for me. 

  5. Look toward tomorrow.  Lord, as I reflect upon the grace and insight you gave me today, may I discover how it might help me live tomorrow with even greater faith, hope and love, for your glory and the service of others. Amen.
