Welcome to the Saturday Examen.

Take a moment to become still…remembering that you are on a Lenten journey in this season… Become aware of how you are in that space.

As we walk through Lent, many of the readings and our music have spoken of wilderness; of desert and dry land…of searching. As you look back over the week, where have you searched for God? Perhaps in a moment of desperation… maybe through discipline, fasting or in search of consolation. Let your mind reach back and look over your week.

Where have you found that consolation? Where have you found the comfort and joy of Christ during your week?

What about those moments that felt truly dry? Where you felt yourself trudging through, far from God maybe…

As you look ahead on your journey, what would you like to ask from the Lord to help you continue on?

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
