    Episode 2 The Daily Prayer of Discernment: The Ignatian Wisdom of the Examen Prayer. The First Step in the Examen Prayer: Gratitude. Taking time out of the day when our hearts are free to receive the Lord's presence. Prayer always takes two persons in relationship...ourselves and God. Then together with the Lord, we see what the gifts of love God has poured out upon us. The key in this first step, is not to look for our missteps (that may come later), but to look for the gifts and give thanks.ob The post DPD2 – The Daily Prayer of Discernment: The Examen Prayer with Fr.

    Episode 3 The Daily Prayer of Discernment: The Ignatian Wisdom of the Examen Prayer. The conversation continues on the subject of the first step in the Examen - GRATITUDE. Why? Because first, above all things, God is love. So at the start of the prayer, we should recall the gift of love God has blessed us with that day and give Him thanks and praise and be concrete. Fr. Gallagher offers examples of what that could look like. Then the conversation begins the next step - PETITION. Asking God to show you what see clearly the spiritual realities of that day.
