Integration
Cultivating gratitude can be a powerful way to live happier lives. From the perspective of Christian faith, it is a response of love to the God who first loved us. One way to do this is through a traditional Catholic practice called the Examen. Popularized by St. Ignatius of Loyola, the Examen helps us write down what we are grateful for at the end of a day.
Your Integration is to practice the Examen every night this week. Set aside a few minutes at the end of each day to follow the steps below. While there are many forms of the Examen to experiment with, the basic steps in the handout are an excellent place to start.
