We go use di “Examen for Every Week” during di Holy Hours. Dis examen follow di five points for di “General Examen for Every Day” inside Di Spiritual Exercises.
To Give Thanks:
My precious Lord, as I dey adore Your holy presence for dis time of prayer, help me make I notice well di many blessings of dis past week. Make I pay attention to di powerful ways wey You don dey work for my life, and even di ways wey no easy to notice at all. Make I see all di ways wey You don bless me abundantly.
Now remember di many blessings of di week and quickly make list of all di ways wey God don bless you—for example, life, health, friendship, family, something wey you do, one particular time wey you meet somebody, kind word wey you talk or receive, prayer time wey bear good fruit, understanding wey you receive, and each and every way wey God don bless you.
Lord, You don bless me for plenty ways. You dey give me Your gifts all di time. I thank You today no be only for di great and powerful ways wey You don bless me, but also for every small gift of Your grace dis week.
To Make Request:
Lord, I also know say You get plenty things to tell me during dis time of prayer. Abeg, open my mind and heart right now to anything wey You want tell me. Help me see everything wey dey stop me from loving You and other people, and help me see di ways wey You dey work for my life. As I dey see, help me listen and respond to dis gift of Your grace.
To Look Back on Di Week:
Look back on di things wey you do for di past week. Read your journal again (if you dey use one) to think about di different ways wey God don dey speak to you over di past weeks. You don dey respond to di inspirations wey you receive each day for dis past week?
Lord, I thank You as You help me see di ways wey You don dey work for my life dis week. Thank You for di joy, di comfort for my soul and di countless blessings wey You don give me. I pray make I always notice how You dey work for my life, so dat I go fit hear Your voice more clearly and follow Your will with greater love and surrender.
Forgiveness:
Now take time to examine your conscience. During di “Meditations wey Lay di Foundation,” use di examinations of conscience on di Seven Capital Sins and di Ten Commandments. For di rest of di year, focus mainly on different parts of di examination on faith, hope and charity.
I also pray make You show me Your mercy for my sins. Abeg, give me di grace of humility so dat I go fit admit all my sins without holding anything back. I pray make You forgive every sin, and I open myself to Your grace so dat Your merciful Heart go make me new again. Your presence for my life dey bring great joy; my sin dey lead to sorrow and loss of hope.
For every sin wey I don commit dis week, I dey sorry and I beg You to forgive me, my merciful Lord.
To Start Afresh and Make Firm Decision:
For here, make your own firm decisions for di coming week, based on wetin God don tell you through these reflections. Then end with dis prayer:
My dear Lord, I make firm decision to serve You more faithfully. Help me put everything wey You don reveal into practice. I choose You as my Lord. I choose You as my Guide and I pray for Your plenty blessings for di week wey dey come.
Amen.
