Meditation
God’s strength carves paths for us to follow that we never expected, and yet are greater than we imagined.
Scripture
Jerimiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Wednesday, February 9
- Daily Examen with Fr. Jim Voiss, S.J. and Sheena Carey | 4 p.m. on the Mission at Marquette Instagram, @mumissionandministry
- One of the most famous prayers St. Ignatius developed was the Examen. In this practice, we have the opportunity to take time in thankful reflection to be with God and review our day.
