According to the Xavier.edu webpage HERE:

The Daily Examen is a method of prayer that Ignatius of Loyola taught in his Spiritual Exercises. He considered it the most important thing a person could do each day.

Would such an effort these 400+ years later still be relevant? Here are the five steps (as presented by Creighton University theologian Dennis Hamm, S.J.) on that same webpage:

1. Pray for light to understand and appreciate the past day.
2. Review the day in thanksgiving.
3. Review the feelings in the replay of the day.
4. Choose one of those feelings (positive or negative) and pray from it.
5. Look toward tomorrow.

Seems mighty relevant still! 🙂

Some additional opportunities for Daily Examen experiences include:

• the Xavier.edu webpage HERE provides dozens of topical approaches
• here is a 4-minute video in case you want a quick AV overview

Enjoy the day – maybe with the Daily Examen? – filled with the Spirit!
