We show different ways of praying using Scripture / Bible stories to help us relate to God and to Jesus…
The Examen is a way of reviewing one’s lived DAY [week, month or year]
Lectio Divina is a slow meditation by reading and thinking about the bible story or bible text eg. a PSALM, or other bits of the bible/Gospel etc. We read the bible slowly a few times, and reflect over our reading, and our reaction to the message in the bible…
Some Gospel stories are suitable for contemplation – so we imagine the scene in which the story happens, imagine we are there, perhaps as one of the participants, disciples, or by-standers… a ‘fly on the wall’!!

The spirituality used on this app comes from St Ignatius of Loyola, or St. Iggy – a Spanish man who live in Spain in the 1500s.
To cut a long story short Ignatius formed the Spiritual Exercises which helped many women and men to grow in their prayer with God and with Jesus.
So, Ignatian Spirituality which is used in many retreat houses around the world for all people, women and men, of any faith and none; it helps if one is a Christian but anyone can pray to God!
