The Daily Examen. The examen, or examination of conscience, is a quick prayer to help you see where God was active in your day. Usually done for 15-20 minutes at the end of the day, the prayer was popularized by St. Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit Order, in his classic text The Spiritual Exercises. Use the five easy steps on the back to pray the examen every day, and soon you'll begin to see God's presence more easily.

In the rising of the sun and in its going down, we remember them. When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them. When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember them. When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember them. So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are now a part of us, as we remember them. - Rabbi's Prayer
