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.

Really good app with 1 flaw
Really enjoy this app for prayer and reflection on the day before bed. Really well done. The only issue is the app is a major drain on my phone battery unless I remember to close it. No idea why but it would be great if this was fixed.
Locking up on both IPhone and IPad
This was a great app however I am finding, both for iPhone and iPad that it simply locks up. The title shows, the music plays but nothing else happens. I am using the latest IOS and IPadOS. Help. Please
No sound
Sadly I have no sound on this app. I have tried deleting and reinstalling but the same issue remains.
Mind opening
A really mind enlightening way to end your day and get ready for a more impactful tomorrow
Very helpful!
I have found this app to be a really great aid to reflection and prayer.
