Examen of Consciousness

1. God, I believe that at this moment I am in your presence and you are loving me.
2. God, you know my needs better than I know them. Give me your light and help as I review this day.
3. God, help me now to review the events of this day in order to recognize your blessings and my shortcomings.
4. God, I ask your forgiveness for my failings and I thank you for all your blessings.
5. As I look forward to the remainder of this day (or tomorrow) make me aware that you are with me, show me how to become the person you want me to be.
