The Family Examen

The Daily Examen is a beautiful daily practice to reflect upon your life and discover the ways in which God is working. Developed by St. Ignatius roughly 500 years ago, the daily examen helps you discover the presence of God through the love you experienced while also reminding you to take your sins to God for forgiveness. This version of the daily examen was created specifically for families to use at the end of the daily. To do so, simply gather your family and open the book. Then read the prompts on each page. We begin by asking God to remind us that we are in His presence. Then we recall the blessings of our day with gratitude. Next, we list a few ways that we experienced love this day, because God is love.
