Examen for Children
One of the hallmarks of Ignatian prayer is the daily Examen—a prayerful way to review the day to recognize God’s presence and movement in our everyday lives. This prayer is easily adaptable to children and can serve as a great tool for introducing young people to a regular awareness of God.
