A 28 minute journey to help us find God’s fingerprints in our actual life.

On a Sunday night in May, Father Michael Sparough, SJ, guided The Practice community through the historic Christian practice of The Examen. The night was powerful and so unexplainably holy that we wanted to invite more people into the experience. So we've turned the live recording of Fr Michael into a full New Liturgy—fleshing it out with an evocative musical score and three original songs. We hope it helps you connect with God in a deep and daily way.

Because this is such a powerful practice and Father Michael has been so gracious, we are offering a number of additional resources on the Extended Edition...

(1) The History of The Examen - Fr Michael Sparough teaches on the history of The Examen

(2) Five Steps of The Examen - Fr Michael Sparough teaches through the steps of The Examen

(3) An Abbreviated Examen - a ten minute, mostly instrumental version of the Examen.

(4) Sign of the Cross Meditation - a ten minute guided meditation on the Sign of the Cross.

(5) Video interview - A conversation with Fr Michael Sparough and Aaron Niequist about The Examen, spiritual direction, and learning from other Christian traditions.
