Welcome to the Saturday Examen. 

Ask for God’s Spirit to guide you in this prayer. 

Go in your imagination to a windy day.   

Lean into the wind.  Feel the resistance of your body against it. Feel the effort of your body and the even greater strength of the wind. Give in and let yourself be moved along.   

Immerse yourself in the physicality of this moment. 

Think back to a time when you were wrestling with something.  You might have been protecting yourself. You might have felt angry. Or hurt. Self-pity might even have set in. In the quietness of this moment bring this time to God. Openly, honestly. You are being given a fair hearing.   

Let the wind around you die down. Let your own voice be heard. Let your body feel strongly held.     

You might want to stay with this moment or come back to it later or talk about it with a close friend. 

Ask God for what you need in the coming hours. It could be as basic as needing grace in a reaction, a conversation, a relationship.   

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
