Saturday Examen

Notice how you are feeling in your body as you enter into a time of prayer today… are you relaxed? Are there points of tension? Notice how your clothes feel on your body…Your feet against the ground… As you become aware of these things, notice them…and then let them go…  

Cast your gaze back over this week… as you let your mind prayerfully wander, notice whatever comes up naturally…  

In whatever has come up for you naturally, where was God at work in this? Can you recognise a particular moment of grace?  

Did you encounter a moment of tension? A countermovement or friction, or heaviness?  

Now turning your gaze to focus on the week ahead, what do you see? What do you most need from the Lord to help you best live out the days that lie before you? Spend a moment talking to God about this now…

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
