Simple Family Night Prayer | A Catholic Examen: Growing in Love

Looking for a simple Catholic family prayer you can pray together tonight?

Here, we'll pray a guided Catholic Examen inspired by St. Ignatius of Loyola—a beautiful way for children and parents to reflect on their day, thank God for His blessings, ask forgiveness, and prepare to love a little better tomorrow.

This week's Examen focuses on the virtue of love (charity) through the example of St. Pier Giorgio Frassati. Together we'll:

• Thank God for today's blessings
• Ask forgiveness for moments when we failed to love well
• Choose one simple way to grow in love tomorrow
• Ask God for the grace to begin again

Whether you're gathered for family night, praying before bed, riding in the car, or simply looking for a quiet moment with God, I hope this prayer helps your family grow closer to Christ, and to each other.

Plus, don't miss this week's bonus email story! Sign up on our website to receive the remarkable account of the 2017 healing of a California seminarian—the second miracle approved for St. Pier Giorgio Frassati's canonization.

Thank you for letting me be a small part of your family's week. If this prayer blesses your family, please consider sharing it with another family so together we can help more children encounter Jesus through Scripture, the saints, and prayer.

St. Pier Giorgio Frassati, pray for us!
