Welcome to the Saturday Examen.
As you enter this time of reflection , take time to arrive and stop.
Become aware of your surroundings.
Take some slow breaths in and slowly breathe out.
Be aware of the presence of God all around you and within you.
Ask God to illuminate this time.
Cast your mind over the last week. What has been life giving? Give thanks for this.
Where have you struggled to believe and have hope? Bring these to God, now.
"Ask and it shall be given". What do you want to ask God for in the coming week?
As this time comes to a close, you may like to ask God to be filled afresh with strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow.
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.
