    A practice introduced in an earlier episode, the Examen allows us to notice the ways in which God is present in our lives and help us become more sensitive to these moments. The First step, known as the Examen of Consciousness, is indented to help us focus on the level of our awareness of God. The Second Step is known as the Examen of Conscience. Join the Rev. Nancy Debelius as she guides us through step two of this practice.

    Originating in the third and fourth centuries with the dessert mothers and fathers, Lectio Divina, or “holy reading,” became a well-established practice of monastic life. This practice was originally used with the psalms but can be used with any scripture. In this episode, the Rev. Nancy Dibelius uses the lectionary for April 21, the fourth Sunday of Easter.
