The Daily Examen

ignatius-loyola

In one of my courses this semester, we’ve been asked to pray the Examen prayer of St. Ignatius for a few days, then provide a little discussion board post about our reaction to it.

Well, as many of you know, this was an easy exercise for me.  I’ve been praying with the Examen on a daily basis for several years, and it’s helped me immensely on my spiritual journey.  I know it can be the same for you.

Carpe Diem

I feel as if I’ve blinked and June has gone by.  I don’t believe I’ve ever been as busy as I am right now, and, although a break is coming, it’s still off in the distance.

Like all things, I’ll survive, and maybe be better for it in the end.  Well, let’s hope 🙂

Come Holy Spirit

I’ve been away this past week, and it was good to get home yesterday afternoon.  I’m sure my neighbors appreciated my lawn finally being cut 🙂  Anyway, I had a lot of reading to do, and it was great to sit outside, enjoying the beautiful weather we are having right now in my area.  Today the Church celebrates Pentecost, the moment the Holy Spirit fell upon the first band of Christians.
