The Examen

"I have a lovely habit: at night in my prayers I touch everyone I have seen that day.” ~ St. Teresa of Avila

The Spiritual Exercises have brought much depth to my life. One feature that I love is the Examen. At the end of the day (usually though it can be at the beginning for the previous day), one runs through in their mind, their entire day to see where God was present and where one noticed God or not.

This lovely little quote from St. Teresa is another spin on that habit. Bless each person who you encountered that day. I might have to add that to my routine this Lent.

Peace,
