During the bombing raids of World War II, thousands of kids were orphaned or hungry. Many of these children, who had lost so much, could not sleep at night. Nothing seemed to reassure them. Then someone came up with the idea to give each child a piece of bread to hold; by holding their bread, the children could sleep in peace. This story is recounted in the book “Sleeping With Bread: Holding What Gives You Life” by Dennis Linn, Sheila Fabricant Linn and Matthew Linn. The Examen is a prayer practice developed by St. Ignatius of Loyola – a way of looking back at our day while resting in God’s love. It’s a way of welcoming our authentic selves and embracing our very human experiences in light of God’s grace and faithfulness. It’s a way of holding what gives us life. Join us as we explore this book and this prayer practice together.
