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.

I love this podcast. Fr. Martin brings the wisdom of Jesuit spirituality - and his own lovely humanity - to each edition. Thank you!
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!
So helpful and simple. Thank you.
I think this is the best way to end the day - in gratitude. However the music is awfully distracting. Why not the sounds of God’s creation, ocean waves, or birds and wind in trees? Then i would give it five stars. But not this repeated tapping on a noise maker. Soothing is what is needed. It would help calm the soul.
I have found this podcast very helpful ,I tried other examen but this is the best one , I only wish it was without music , i find it distracting .
