Listen Later

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas’ website.

Our devotional (12 mins) is from "On the Exercises of a Righteous Person" (Book 1, Chapter 19).

Scripture: 2 Pet 1:5-8; Prov 16:9; Jer 10:23; Heb 12:1; Eph 6:11; Rom 8:18; Luke 12:37,42

Application:

  • Daily renewal: Begin the day the right way!
  •  * Stay busy. Redeem the time. The clock is ticking.
  • Don't advertise our righteous acts.* See also the Examen of Ignatius Loyola. (Scroll down.)   
  • Next: "On the Reading of the Holy Scriptures" (Book 1, Chapter 5)

    THE EXAMEN:.* Gratitude: recalling the blessings of the day, thanking God.

    * Review: Recall the events of the day and notice where you felt God's presence and where you resisted opportunities to grow in love.
    * Sorrow: recall anything for which you are sorry.* Forgiveness: ask for God's forgiveness and/or healing, as needed.* Grace: Ask God for the grace you need for the next day or for your life in general.
