Prayer Life

This Lent, consider trying this simple but helpful prayer practice to raise your awareness of God’s presence throughout your day. This prayer form, from St. Ignatius of Loyola is called the Examen Prayer. What you are examining, is your own experience of God’s movements in the various moments of your day. This Lent, ask God to be with you as you look back over each day.

Most of us have heard how important prayer is to one’s spiritual journey through life. But the pressures of daily living and our busy schedules can often distract us from setting aside some time each day for lifting our hearts and minds to God.
