The Way of Being Led

Handout: Learning Community Gathering #1

PRAXIS

Practicing & Noting

1. Twice a week, pray the Particular Examen on “Willingness to Be Led” by using the recording below.

2. Continue to practice active listening as you engage people, especially the people inspired by the above Examen. Reflect on the following questions afterward:

   • Is there a pattern to the way I actively listened, in terms of what hinders or helps me be empathetic (“feel with”)?

   • How did God and I “do it together,” or not?

3. Journal before the next gathering using these prompts:

• What did I learn about God, myself, and/or others in my praxis?

• As I accompany others, do I find myself trusting God (following the Spirit) or relying on myself (making things happen) more? How so?
