The movements of God

0:00

held

Welcome to the Saturday Examen.

On Saturdays we like to look prayerfully and reflectively back at how we have done during this week, in both our activities and our praying, to get used to seeing where God has been present. This time of Examen isn’t a memory test (many of us can barely remember yesterday!)

Instead, this is a moment to let God show you the movements of God, and the movements of your heart. If you’re finding it hard, simply ask for help, or return to a point of gratitude you have.

Take a moment to slow down.

Become aware of your breathing.

To begin, let up to three things surface in your mind, possibly, but not necessarily, three moments in prayer, when you felt the touch of God this week.

Now recall just two things for which you would like to tell God that you are sorry.

Finally, think of just one thing that you are being challenged to work on in the coming week, and ask for God’s help.

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
