Description
This leaflet from our “How to Pray” series offers direct, condensed instructions for how to pray the nightly Examen before bedtime. This traditional practice was conceived by St. Ignatius as a way of prayerfully reviewing one’s day, with both its difficulties and blessings, then peacefully re-committing oneself to God before going to bed.
The four-fold method of The Examen is:
ENLIGHTENMENT
THANKSGIVING
REFLECTION
RESPONSE
It ends by looking toward the next day and re-committing oneself to God.
Measuring just 2.5″x4″ the leaflet fits easily in the pocket, making it ideal to hand out after Mass or at events.
