Gentle Examen

I offer you here a prayer of Examen inspired by the book Sleeping with Bread by Dennis, Matthew and Sheila Linn.

Mom gifted me with a copy of Sleeping with Bread in an unsettled season of my mid-20s, and it was my first exposure to Ignatian Spirituality. I’ve since bought countless copies for friends. Maybe you’ll buy it for someone this Christmas, or put it on your own Christmas list! If you find the Examen beneficial and aren’t familiar with this book, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

A big word of thanks to brother dearest Pete Hatch for the music which brings these episodes to life!!

Enjoy your practice of Examen this week, and feel free to join us in the Contemplative at Home Community on Facebook, which I check in with about once a week.

PS: Thanks to those who noticed there wasn’t a podcast published last week! I recorded and edited an Examen prayer, but it felt forced and off-kilter. I decided not to release it just for the sake of filling a space…

Another warm welcome to those joining us for the first time….
