This week begins a new sermon series for the season of Lent: Encountering Christ in Prayer. Each week we’ll look at a different, traditional prayer practice and issue an invitation to try it out in preparation for the Great Feast of the Resurrection!
This week’s prayer practice is the Daily Examen. Here is the homily.

Questions for Reflection
- In what moments throughout my day do I feel most aware of God’s presence, and how can I create more of those moments?
- What voices or influences do I encounter regularly that may not align with God’s voice? How can I discern between them?
- Reflecting on my recent experiences, when did I struggle to feel connected to God? What circumstances contributed to that feeling?
- How can the practice of the Daily Examen help me to be more present to God in the coming days? What steps will I take to incorporate it into my routine?
- In times of temptation, how can recalling my experiences of God’s presence through the Daily Examen strengthen my ability to resist those temptations?
