Welcome to the Saturday Examen.
Prepare yourself for prayer today by focusing on your breath…take a few deep breaths in…and then a few releasing breaths out. Notice how the change in breath brings stillness and an awareness of God’s presence.
Cast your mind back over the week… we have considered mindset, resistance, witness, belonging, truth and freedom.
Today we prepare to bring all our emotions to the great theatre of Holy Week. Firstly, take this opportunity to reflect.
Is there a particular moment God is drawing you to remember? Notice what rises to the surface naturally… allow the moment to reveal itself …
Do you notice any tensions, lack of understanding or frustration? Allow these moments to be witnessed…
Where, in the prayer journey of the week, have you found an opening of the heart or sense of revelation or relationship? Is there something you may carry into Holy Week? Again, notice what arises naturally…
Looking forward, what would you like to ask God for, to find movement in your prayer life and practice?

You have given all to me
To You, Lord, I return it
Everything is Yours, do with it what you will
Give me only your love and your grace
That is enough for me.
