Ignatian Examen

"Lord, I know that You love me and are with me right now.

Lord, help me to be aware of Your Presence in people and experiences I've had this day.

Lord, forgive me for moments I've fallen short, haven't been the kind of person You want me to be.

Lord, give me a heart more like Yours, grateful.

Lord, grace me with your strength to embrace what awaits, in hopefulness, hands outstretched lies ahead."
