St. Ignatius of Loyola gives us a way of doing this with our experiences with God - the Ignatian Examen.

THE IGNATIAN EXAMEN http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D5bgFjCNXY)

• Ignatian Examen is a way of praying that St. Ignatius of Loyola developed to help people be aware of their encounter with God in their daily experiences.

• It includes: silence as a beginning to prayer, reviewing or going back to what happened during the day, and being grateful to God to become a better person.

“Sit down properly and comfortably. Be aware of your breathing. Breath in. Breath out. Close your eyes. Be silent.”
