Reflection through Questions

When did you feel most alive today?

When or where did you feel your life drained?

Asking these kinds of questions can actually be a form of prayer and lead us into discerning the ways God is moving around lives. This questioning practice is called Examen: it's an enlightening way of reviewing our day, seeing where we are emotionally and spiritually, and indentifying where we're headed.
