A taste of Ignatian Spirituality. 3. The Examen

Seeing God in everything.

The day often passes with us not even thinking about God, about our faith, even if we have a personal time of prayer in the morning or the evening, even if we go to church. The prayer of the examen is a framework which gently helps  us be more present to God in gratitude, peace and joy for our everyday life.

This morning is part of a series of three Wednesday mornings.

« It is not so much knowledge that fills and satisfies the soul, but the intimate understanding and relish of the truth. »  (St Ignatius in the Spiritual Exercises SE 2)

We continue to explore some elements of the Spirituality that St Ignatius bequeathed us on three Wednesday mornings. These elements are simple, practical suggestions that can help us to live our life in a deeper relationship with God.

In addition to extracts of the Spiritual Exercises, we will use a psalm and a poem for each session. There will be some input, an opportunity to share, time for personal reflection and prayer in the beautiful spaces of St Andrew’s : chapel, grounds, meeting rooms. Come along and discover St Ignatius for the first time or come and deepen your understanding.
