United StatesReimagining the Examen offers a unique prayer experience that’s tailored to your needs and mood. Each Examen, based on St. Ignatius’s 500-year-old prayer, guides you through a stimulating reflection on your day, helping you invite God into your nitty-gritty. Choose an Examen that matches your current state of being, or pray that day’s scheduled reflection. Reimagining the Examen, created by Loyola Press, is based on Mark Thibodeaux, SJ’s best-selling book, “Reimagining the Ignatian Examen,” which offers flexible and adaptable versions of the Examen. Begin the app experience today to invite grace, gratitude, and insight into your daily life. What is the Examen? St. Ignatius of Loyola created the Examen to be a very short prayer that can be prayed at any time. In the Examen, we review our recent past to find God and his blessings in our daily life. Ignatius would say that the Examen should be the most important moment of our day, because this moment affects every other moment. How Do I Pray the Examen? There are five simple steps to the Examen, which this app leads you through: 1. Relish the moments that went well and all of the gifts you have today. 2. Request that the Spirit lead you through your review of the day. 3. Review your day. 4. Repent of any mistakes or failures. 5. Resolve, in concrete ways, to live tomorrow well.
Deeply grateful
My mind often skitters during prayerful reflection and this app has helped me greatly to focus. Even tempts me to try different options later to reconnect with Him. Thank you very much.
United StatesTurning off the music
Love the app but the music is difficult to change despite touching my choice and it also plays continually, even when the app is closed.
United StatesNice exercises but…
There are some lovely variations on the examen here, but I find the exclusively male pronouns for God distracting and very much a barrier.
United StatesIt is the door into a deeper relationship with God
I tried for years to make the EXAMEN part of my prayer life but could “never find the time”. This leads me through a prayer process I can do anywhere, any time. Waiting in line. Before lunch. It quickly guides me into self-reflection, gratitude, awareness of God’s movement in my life and a desire for a closer relationship. I now put a reminder on my phone and open myself up to grace.
United StatesGreat, but for one thing
I have really found this app to be very helpful to my prayer life (uh… when I remember to use it. You know how it is with spiritual practices.) However, one thing I used to love was the feature that allowed for a random Examen to pop up. For me, it was great to sit with whatever the app (the Spirit??) threw my way. When I have to choose a topic, I find that doing so is ME shaping my prayer in a way that is less helpful. Is there a way to access the random function anymore? Thanks…
United StatesScreen freeze
Tried using tonight after mentioning to prayer team. Launched but could not move pages.
United StatesDelightful Examen Experience
I’ve loved this app for quite some time as a little variety here and there is so helpful for my examen time. With the latest update, I don’t have to worry about losing my place when my phone autolocks so I can really focus on my time with God without paying so much attention to my phone. I can enter into long periods of prayer between pages without lugging around a book. Fantastic app and so grateful for the latest update!
