We don’t want the Examen to become rote and routine. Fr. Mark Thibodeaux, SJ, thinks that as long as we make it an experience of prayer and are looking at past, present, and future, there are many ways to pray the Examen. Listen to him speak about keeping the Examen fresh in the audio clip below.
Fr. Mark Thibodeaux, SJ, is the author of Reimagining the Ignatian Examen.
Thank you very much. I got the book actually as it is been really helping me to deeply look at my life daily in my relationship with God and now listening to Fr Thibodeau on how to use in a way not to get stuck with the routine is even more helpful. Again I’m so grateful for this.
Fr. Thibodeau opened up my mind to a different approach to practising the Examen. It is beautiful. Please let me know the books that are related to his talk and the cost?
Beulah, Fr. Thibodeaux’s book, Reimagining the Ignatian Examen, is available from Loyola Press here: https://store.loyolapress.com/reimagining-the-ignatian-examen or from your favorite local bookseller or online bookstore.
Thank you for your interest,
