Listening in Ignatian Heritage Month
Daily Examens and Weekly Podcasts
Our Ignatian tradition is not limited to programs and events! The daily Examens and weekly podcasts are here for your continued reflection and inspiration at whatever time is convenient to you. Enjoy!
Daily Examen
The Examen is the foundational form of prayer for Ignatius of Loyola, as it is rooted in one’s experience, emotions, and recognition of the on-going gifts that are offered to each of us uniquely. Join members of the Division of Mission Integration in a different Examen each day through different themes, perspectives, and presenters!
