In an introductory dialogue the priest invites the people to lift their hearts to God in prayer and thanks; he unites them with himself in the prayer he addresses in their name to the Father through Jesus Christ. The meaning of the prayer is that the whole congregation joins Christ in acknowledging the works of God Almighty and in offering the sacrifice. |

Practice of the Awareness Examen an exercise in discovering God's presence in daily life.
1. Prayer of Thanksgiving; Begin by acknowledging your need to be grateful to God; for He is a loving, provident God, and you are a creature who is helpless and needy. Realise more deeply that all is gift from the hand of God. (1 Cor. 4:7). Try to deepen your attitude of gratitude by thanking God for all things in general, e.g. for your existence, for a share in the divine life of the Trinity, for the air and sun, for friends, for your vocation, for the Eucharist, etc. PRAISE THE LORD AND THANK HIM. |

by stretching forth thine hand to heal: and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child JESUS. Acts 4:29-30 AV HOLY the child to be born will be called Holy- the Son of God Luke 1:35 ESV |
2. Prayer For Light;
Ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten you about what has transpired today, because you are only too aware of your blindness to see Him in events and persons of your day;and, too, you know your own ignorance in understanding God's ways in your life. So ask the Spirit to show you what He wants you to see and to understand. |
Holy GhostAs they ministered to the Lord and fasted,the Holy Ghost said ," Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
Acts 13:2 AV |
3. Finding God in All Things.
(a) At this point you try to become aware through a general analysis, or survey, of your day. You relax in the Lord's presence and by looking back slowly over the events, persons,and circumstances of the day, you listen to the Lord and allow Him to show you where He was meeting, encountering, chalanging, being present to you during that day. Just let the "corks" of persons and events pop to the surface of your mind in order to recognize Christ in them and so permit you to understand by bringing your faith perspective to bear on them. Look over, primarily your attitudes in relation to Christ's attitudes, and consider your actions in second place. Focos mainly on your affectivity, such things as joy, pain, turmoil, increased feeling of love anger, harmony,anxiety, freedom, fears, the presence of God,etc, and ask why? Your feelings are the tip of an iceberg, and by investigating below the surface, by asking a series of "Why's" you discover the attitudes and disorders which are on -Christlike, and also those which are like Christ's attitudes..All feelings are acceptable, but not all actions. You have to notice the directions of your feelings; moving you towards God or towards self? You then become more aware of the opportunities offered you by the Lord that day, and you discover where you found Him and where you did not recognise Him (b) In particular you should investigate any area of your life in which the Lord is calling you to a deeper conversion, to a change..Look at the area, too, of your greatest weakness. |
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen. 2 Corinthians 13:14 AV
The Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say Luke 12:12 AV the churches.......were edified: walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost. were multiplied.

4. Prayer for the gifts of sorrow and of gratitude.
From your awareness (in point no 3) of your failure to respond to the Lord, whether in events or persons, you ask for His forgiveness and pardon..Tour lack of love may have been demonstrated through some selfish attitude, action or inaction. Lord Have Mercy You should also express your thanks to God for the things, events, persons, unselfish attitudes, which you have discovered to day during your reflection. Thank God for these things |

5. Prayer for Help and Guidance for tomorrow
with trust in God, you ask for His "bread" for the needs of tomorrow; For example, you might need to become more aware of what triggers your anger and you need to receive the grace at the time, to turn to the Lord for His immediate help. Maybe it is to some task, some ministry towards some person, in some event, that you need God's continuing aid.....Then pray for it specifically. |
