Saturday 25 February 2023

Welcome to the Saturday Examen.

On Saturday we like to look prayerfully and reflectively back at what we have done during this week, both our activities and our praying, to get used to seeing where God has been.


Take some time to settle into prayer with God now… you might like to prepare your body, or focus on your breathing. Spend a moment with whatever feels comfortable, aware of God’s loving gaze upon you…


Where have you felt the touch of God this week? Ask the Holy Spirit to show you something…this might not necessarily be from a time of prayer…notice what comes up naturally…this could be surprising!

Is there anything you might like to say sorry to God for from the week behind you? Again, notice what naturally comes up and give it to God, aware of God’s gentleness and mercy…


Finally, is there something you might be being challenged to work on in the coming week? You might like to ask for God’s help for this now, remembering God’s power and kindness…



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.
Amen.
