Welcome to the Saturday Examen. Take a moment to become still before God… The God who sees, knows and understands your thoughts. Surrender your thoughts and feelings over to God as you begin to pray today. Cast your mind back over the week… don’t worry about what you can or can’t remember. Just let a few key moments rise to the surface naturally. What stands out as a moment of lightness? Was there a moment that felt like everything was in its right place? Perhaps even in a moment of challenge…was God’s comforting presence with you – maybe in the form of a friend, or a moment you saw in nature… What stands out as a moment of difficulty? Perhaps a moment you felt far from God, or far from others… You might have felt closed in on yourself. Offer this moment to God now for God to gently hold… As we draw this Examen to a close, what would you like to say to God about your coming week? What help or guidance do you need? Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
