For explanation of Soul Project, see attached pdf below. We will be doing this over the course of the next couple weeks. Final reporting in on March 1.
Directions and Steps:
Directions and Steps:
- Find a QUIET place. Let it be a place that you enjoy inhabiting, free from outside distraction.
- Take a few minutes just to be silent. You might simply pray, "Come, Holy Spirit", or you may implement the first Soul Project we did: "Looking at God Looking at You." You might pray the prayer of St. Demetrius of Rostov (see Resources page), or even, "Open my lips, Oh Lord..." from Psalm 51. You might also pray the "Jesus Prayer": "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have Mercy on Me."
- Begin to Pray the Examen as given on the back of the handout (attached below).
- PAUSE after each petition. Listen for the Lord.
- Consider prayer journaling at this time: write down anything that comes to you.
- Once completed with the Examen, record your EXPERIENCE.
- Did the Lord nudge you in any way?
- Did He show you any particular moments of your day that he might say, "Well, done"?
- Did He show you any moments that He would have you respond differently to in the future? If so, ask for the Grace to do so.
- Did He show you any moments where He was particularly near - where you felt near to Him?
