Five Pillars of PRS

Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture to preaching and teaching.

Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.

But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'"

But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.

So they read distinctly from the book, in the Law of God; and they gave the sense, and helped them to understand the reading.

Readers of this blog may already be familiar with Reimagining the Ignatian Examen. We've featured flip books based on the popular book of the same name, and now Reimagining the Examen is an app.

Years ago, Mark Thibodeaux, SJ, created the prayer app before he even knew it. The novice director for the Central and Southern provinces jotted down themed Examens in a Word document that he would pray from on his iPhone.

This year, his Word document turned into the Reimagining the Examen app. It offers a modern take on St. Ignatius's 500-year-old prayer. Its Examens can be adapted to users' particular needs and situations. With thoughtful reflections on relationships, pending decisions, times of transition, or gratitude, users can review their day with God wherever they are.

"Because of my own experience of using it, I just knew this would work," Thibodeaux said. "And younger people are even more engaged with iPhones than I am, so it was a need I knew people had."

The app is based on Thibodeaux's book, Reimagining the Ignatian Examen, which offers 34 adaptable versions of the Examen. Loyola Press created the app to complement the book in February of this year. With soothing music and step-by-step guidance, users can choose from one of the themed Examens-picking the reflection that best fits their current state of being-or select the Examen of the day.

Thibodeaux said he uses the app daily, as have many campus ministers and fellow Jesuits.

"If there's any prayer that can be called a prayer on the go, it's the Examen. It just cries out for an app," he said. "I did my Examen today on an airplane, using my iPhone, and I didn't have to be showy about it. No one even noticed what I was doing."

Paul Brian Campbell, SJ, the publisher of Loyola Press, hopes users will gain clarity, mindfulness, and grace from this small but mighty practice.

" Reimagining the Examen gives readers the opportunity to take Mark's excellent book and apply it to their daily lives on the go. It is our hope that this life-giving practice will offer users exactly what they need in the moment and beyond," he said.

Thibodeaux agrees: " Reimagining the Examen offers you the chance to engage with God right there in the middle of your busy day, right there at work, right there at school, and bring God into the nitty-gritty of your day."

Reimagining the Examen is available on iTunes or on Google Play. You can learn more about the app here. If you're already using the app, let us know what you think.

ENCOURAGE OTHERS IN SCRIPTURE MEMORY

Memorize with children to equip them for life.

Memorize with fellow church members to grow in unity and maturity.

For 25 years, churches, families, and individual Christians have been memorizing Scripture with the Fighter Verses.

. . . my main reason for memorizing Scripture is . . . to fight unbelief in my life. To fight discouragement in my life. To handle the sorrows that come across my life. The devil is constantly shooting at me to be discouraged about myself, my family, my church, and the world. And the only way I know to fight back is with truths from God that counter that.
