The examen is an ancient prayer practice that enables you to find God in your daily life. Our podcast is based on a technique that St. Ignatius Loyola outlined in the "Spiritual Exercises," his classic manual for prayer. Each week Fr. Martin will provide you with a new reflection and guide you through the examen prayer.

  • A great insight to my life..

    I’ve used the Examen in the morning over coffee- it’s getting harder to remember exactly what did happen the day before ;0) Lol! This week’s message was especially meaningful as it comes during a time of grieving for the loss of my last family member…and all the emotion of these times! Thank you Father

  • Best Way to End the Day

    I love your books and after attending a silent Jesuit retreat recently have really found Jesuit spirituality helpful during a hard time in my life. This podcast is so peaceful and the guided examen keeps me focused. I enjoy the soothing music and Fr. Jim’s calm voice. Thank you for all you do to help others grow in their faith!
