Description
Reimagining the Examen offers a unique prayer experience that’s tailored to your needs and mood. Each Examen, based on St. Ignatius’s 500-year-old prayer, guides you through a stimulating reflection on your day, helping you invite God into your nitty-gritty. Choose an Examen that matches your current state of being, or pray that day’s scheduled reflection.
Reimagining the Examen, created by Loyola Press, is based on Mark Thibodeaux, SJ’s best-selling book, “Reimagining the Ignatian Examen,” which offers flexible and adaptable versions of the Examen. Begin the app experience today to invite grace, gratitude, and insight into your daily life.
What is the Examen?
St. Ignatius of Loyola created the Examen to be a very short prayer that can be prayed at any time. In the Examen, we review our recent past to find God and his blessings in our daily life. Ignatius would say that the Examen should be the most important moment of our day, because this moment affects every other moment.
How Do I Pray the Examen?
There are five simple steps to the Examen, which this app leads you through:
1. Relish the moments that went well and all of the gifts you have today.
2. Request that the Spirit lead you through your review of the day.
3. Review your day.
4. Repent of any mistakes or failures.
5. Resolve, in concrete ways, to live tomorrow well.

Ratings and Reviews
So wonderful…needs a couple tweaks
This is a beautiful and accessible way to do the examen. There is a click sound when I swipe which I find very distracting though. The examen for the day seems to change if I leave the app and
then come back. I like that there are many forms of doing the examen offered as well as a choice on background sounds. Lovely app.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for sharing these good suggestions.
Incredibly poor update!
How could this update possibly be an ‘improvement’ when the dark blue background makes it impossible to see clearly and the font size be so tiny even when you choose the biggest size? Why tear down something good and loved by users and replace it with something so inferior?
Previous version much better
I just downloaded the new version of this app, and I’m very disappointed. The white text is difficult to read against the blue background. All of the backgrounds are the same. There’s no music anymore. And it now counts your activity in a day “streak” as if this were a game.
I enjoyed using the previous version, but dislike the updated version so much I will likely be deleting this app
I wish I had not downloaded the update.
