The Prayer Pack All of us pray in different ways at different stages in our lives. Sometimes our way of praying changes as we grow in our relationship with God. ‘The Review of the Day’ – or ‘The Examen’ as it is sometimes called – is to pause and take time to prayerfully reflect on the events of the day in order to recognise the presence of God in our lives, and asking God to give us the grace to discern the way forward. To reflect on our daily experiences in prayer is an ancient practice of the Church. However, St Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556) gave this reflection a particular structure and the method presented here is adapted from the example as described by Ignatius of Loyola in his Spiritual Exercises.
