As part of its Ignatian Heritage Month celebrations, Loyola University Chicago released a series of daily Examens. One invites reflection on beauty. Dr. Derrick Witherington introduces an encounter with beauty experienced by 20th-century theologian Paul Tillich and proceeds “to invite us to consider what moments of beauty we’ve encountered today, and how those experiences help us to understand who we are as beloved children of God basking in the vital joy of this awareness.”
i am learning that journaling is absolutely essential to obtain the fruits of the Examin. I must admit that I don’t journal as faithfully as I might but,when I take the time to do so I am always astonished at what I have written; it’s as if God is directing the pen and guiding me in awareness and discovery.
Thanks Derrick Witherington. Examen on Beauty is soothing and uplifting.
I really enjoyed doing this examen. Thank you for sharing it. Merry Christmas blessings to everyone! 🎄🌟🙏
