St. Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuits, the religious community the Canadian Martyrs belonged to, created a very simple form of daily prayer called the Examen (different from the Examination of Conscience for Confession)to help us get in touch with these realities. Ignatius encouraged the use of this prayer as a way to help us become more aware of the movement of grace, the presence of God in the everyday moments of our lives.
