I enjoy and look forward to the Strake Examen audio but for some reason I’m not able to access it anymore. Is there a technical issue or am I doing something incorrectly?
John, I’m not sure why the video wouldn’t be working for you. Try the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDzs9UCbNNk.

I’m having the same issue with other videos as well.
I today’s world and life we must stop and start our day with the Examen so that we place ourselves in the presence of God to guide our everyday life to serve others and live our faith
Heard of your website today. Thanks you. My day is no exception Christ centered.
I am a senior at Creighton Univerity and found this site researching the travels of the first Jesuits traveling the Silk Road in Afghanistan ( I lived there for three years Specail Operattions ). This site will become a daily stop as it has opened my eyes to really see my life and to not just look at it hurriedly like an unwanted reading assignment.
Thanks. I am draw to the Jesuits. I feel it’s the Lord Father, Son Jesus and the Holy spirit. What do you suggest? Thank you. Laurie Nagy
