SANCTUS ✝

Evening Prayer

A prayerful review of the day, in 6 steps (Ignatian tradition)

1

In God's presence

Make the sign of the cross and take a moment of stillness. God is here, close to you, and he loves you. Simply let his gaze rest upon you.

2

Thanksgiving

Recall the blessings of this day, great and small: an encounter, a joy, a kindness, a moment of beauty. Thank the Lord for each of these gifts.

3

Asking for light

Ask the Holy Spirit to shed light on your day, so that you may see it as God sees it: with truth and with gentleness.

4

Reviewing the day

Walk back through your day, hour by hour. Where was God present? When did you respond to his love? When did you forget him? Without judging yourself, look at it all in peace.

5

Asking forgiveness

Acknowledge your failings and entrust them to the Lord. Ask his forgiveness with confidence, certain of his boundless mercy.

6

Toward tomorrow

Entrust tomorrow to God. Choose one thing to watch over, and ask his grace to move forward with him.

Follow this prayer every evening, guided step by step, with a moment of silence between each one — in the app.
