The Examen Prayer

The Examen was developed over five hundred years ago by St. Ignatius of Loyola, is a beautiful way to look over your day with the Divine. Feel free to journal, draw, or pray silently, however it comes most naturally to you. The Divine hears us in any form of expression.

Lectio Divina:  Praying with Scriptures

Lectio Divina is a way to pray with the scripture passages. The focus is reflecting on what the Holy Spirit is saying to you in regards to a particular passage.  There are four basic steps.

Patient Trust Prayer

by Teilhard de Chardin, SJ.

Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability— and that it may take a very long time.

Together in
Spirit and Prayer

Here we lift one another in prayer, trusting that each intention is received with love and held in the light of the Divine. Thank you for joining this circle of care.

A Prayer for Peace and Loving Presence

May all hearts awaken to the light of compassion.
May those who suffer find comfort,
and those who carry fear discover peace.

May love rise stronger than division,
and mercy soften every hardened place.
May our words bring healing,
and our hands bring kindness wherever we go.

As we breathe in Your Spirit,
may we become vessels of Your peace —
gentle in heart, steadfast in hope,
and radiant with the love that unites us all.

Amen.
