Product Overview
The Daily Examen of St. Ignatius, derived from The Spiritual Exercises, is a 10 to 20 minute prayer that should be undertaken at least once a day. The Examen is designed for restful contemplation, and this version is adapted to the demands of contemporary life. Prayer for Finding God in All Things includes a Foreword by Avery Cardinal Dulles, diverse quotations from the Scriptures as well as distinguished spiritual writers, and a selection of possible closing prayers. Dulles writes, "[T]his booklet can be a godsend. Following the true spirit of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Sister Joan L. Roccasalvo, C.S.J. shows how the daily examen, moving beyond conventional moralism, can contribute to a loving relationship with God and blend into a prayer of trustful gratitude."

5 Prayer book for finding God in all things
Posted by Natalie Penny on Jun 18th 2025
I have purchased this beautiful prayer booklet written in the Ignatian style of spiritual exercises through his daily Examen format many times over, for myself and as gifts to friends and family. When I gift it, I connect with the new reader by picking an exercise, reading it and discussing the experience usually through text. Wonderful!

5 The resource that made the daily examen accessible to me
Posted by Margie Winfield on Jun 17th 2025
I struggled for some time to connect with the examen as a daily practice, then I ran across this little booklet. The guidance offered in the booklet on the how and why of the examen flipped a switch for me and has made this prayer something I look forward to a couple times every day. I really appreciate the "scripture and scared writings" offered in the booklet as well. The booklet is small and easily slips into my bag--I take it with me wherever I go.
