Welcome to the Examen

The Examen is a guided prayer, 

most often prayed at night before bed. 

If you want an enjoyable way 

to increase your quantity and quality of prayer, 

this is one of the best practices we know. 

It's a comfortable, non-threatening opportunity 

to reflect on the good and bad from your day, 

and hear what God is saying to you.

It offers you the privilege 

of having your feet washed 

(through confession and repentance) 

as if Christ were kneeling before you, 

showering you with his love and acceptance, 

washing away the hurts and failures of your day.

Two options are available: 

one that is narrated and one that is not.

If you want to spend more time 

reflecting on one of the prayer's elements, 

simply pause the video 

and restart it 

when you're ready to move on.
