I’ve used the Examen in the morning over coffee- it’s getting harder to remember exactly what did happen the day before ;0) Lol! This week’s message was especially meaningful as it comes during a time of grieving for the loss of my last family member…and all the emotion of these times! Thank you Father

I’m just a kid and this catches my eye every night I listen to this podcast and I think it is amazing and father. F really helps me calm down at night and to get ready for bed.
Meaningful and non-fussy

I love your books and after attending a silent Jesuit retreat recently have really found Jesuit spirituality helpful during a hard time in my life. This podcast is so peaceful and the guided examen keeps me focused. I enjoy the soothing music and Fr. Jim’s calm voice. Thank you for all you do to help others grow in their faith!
