The whole of Scripture took on a new meaning, and whereas before the ‘justice of God’ had filled me with hate, now it became to me inexpressibly sweet in greater love.

Luther, as cited by D. Cullum from Bainton

Scripture

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot
Psalm 91:11-13

Today we will do our first daily examen of this season. To understand more about this, read the article below. 

Remembering that we are in God’s presence together, you are encouraged to invite the Lord to guide your reflection on the past day – taking time to attend to what comes to mind.

This is a version of the five-step Daily Examen that St. Ignatius practiced.

1. Become aware of God’s presence.
2. Review the day with gratitude.
3. Pay attention to your emotions.
4. Choose one feature of the day and pray from it.
5. Look toward tomorrow.
