Here is a shorter version of The Review from the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius. It is a short and affirming way to look back on the whole range of experiences that happen each day. There is a longer version here.
Take a moment to let God look at you. Breathe in God’s love.
With your hand on your heart, ask Jesus to bring your heart the moment today for which you feel most grateful.
Recall what was said and done in the moment. Enjoy the gratitude you feel again now. Breathe in its life.
Ask Jesus to bring to your heart the moment today for which you feel least grateful.
What was said and done in that moment? Let it be. Breathe in God’s love just as you are.
Speak to God about what you have noticed.
Give thanks to God for your day.
Ask for help for tomorrow.
From ‘Sleeping with Bread’ by Dennis Linn, Sheila Fabricant Linn and Matthew Linn.
