Description
“A WONDERFUL BOOK. FR. GALLAGHER’S INSIGHTS ARE REFRESHING AND PRACTICAL.”
— CHARLES M. SHELTON, S.J., Ph.D., author of Achieving Moral Health
Discover the prayer Ignatius of Loyola loved and how it can transform our lives today. This first book to introduce the examen prayer is also a rich resource for all spiritual seekers. The examen prayer is a transforming and ever-growing practice in Christian spirituality. In The Examen Prayer, Father Timothy M. Gallagher, O.M.V., draws from real-life stories and his experience as a spiritual director to explain the core principles of the examen prayer: What is the examen and how can we begin to pray it? How-can we adapt it to our individual lives? What are its fruits?
