Christ is all and in all. (Colossians 3:11)
My Dear Parishioners,
The concept of Christ being “in all” is a central aspect of spirituality from St. Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits. In order to help us to find God in every person, in every place, and in every situation, St. Ignatius developed a set of spiritual exercises to help us to become more attentive to God’s activity in the world.
Part of Ignatius’ exercises was the “daily examen,” which he described as a prayerful review of the day. How was he present in bad situations as well as the good ones? Ignatius knew that as we learn to see God “in all things” we will grow more confident of his love and more willing to serve him and his people.
There are five steps to the Daily Examen:
- Be aware of God’s presence in your experiences. Try to see how the Holy Spirit guided you today.
- Review your day with gratitude. Be thankful as you look over your day.
- Pay attention to your emotions. When and why did you get jealous, judgmental, hurt, happy, or excited?
- Choose one feature of your day and pray through it. Pick one or two strong feelings you had and pray about them. Did they draw you closer to God; make you feel compassionate, generous, or loving? Or did they make you feel anxious, fearful, or self-centered?
- Look toward tomorrow. Ask God to give you his grace and his blessing for the next day’s challenges.
The daily examen is not just a pious pastime. Its goal is to draw us closer to God and make us more deeply engaged in the world.
As we journey through the less-frantic summer months, this might be a good time to give this exercise a try. Talk to Jesus today as a friend who deeply cares for your well-being.

We just recently heard from our former parishioner, Claire Hackett, who is presently living in Bakersfield. Her husband, Michael, recently passed and Fr. Kidney presided at his funeral at Marymount High School Chapel. Claire sends her best wishes to the whole Corpus community. She and the girls still consider Corpus Christi their spiritual home and they want to keep supporting the parish.
