In the morning:

Spend time this morning re-reading/studying 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 and think about these questions: (1) What does it mean what “whoever sows sparingly will reap sparingly”? How does that apply to your personal generosity (2) What does a “cheerful giver” look like? Are you one? (3) How is your generosity blessing others?

At noon:

Spend 5-15 minutes in solitude and silence, enjoying the presence of God.

In the evening:

Spend 15-20 minutes doing the Spend 15-20 minutes doing the Daily Examen. .

  • Acknowledge how God’s presence was with you through the day. Although the day may seem confusing, ask God to bring you clarity and understanding
  • Count your blessings and give thanks. Pay attention even to the small details of the day – God was in every part of your day.
  • Pay attention to your emotions. What can you learn about yourself from God as you review your emotions from the day?
  • Choose one feature of the day and pray from it. Ask the Holy Spirit to direct you to something during the day that God thinks is particularly important.
  • Look forward to tomorrow. Ask God to give you light for tomorrow’s challenges.
