AFMIX Reflection Video and Daily Examen

Created for Xavier University’s AFMIX Program, February 2019

AFMIX (Assuring the Future Mission and Identity of Xavier) is Xavier University’s flagship professional development program for faculty and staff. This small group project represent the culmination of 2 years of contemplation and spiritual exercises.

I also wrote the below daily examen for humanists as part of the experience. It can also be found at jesuitresource.org

A Humanist Daily Examen

Written and Offered by Christian Sheehy

I begin in my usual way, in a meditative position in a comfortable, quiet place.

I seek the resolve and strength to examine my thoughts and deeds throughout the day without judgement, knowing that I always strive to improve the lives of those around me and the communities in which we live.

I reflect on my seemingly insignificant place floating in the vast universe.

How did I contribute to the wonder of those around me?

Who did I serve?

How did I discern with my reason and by seeking the wisdom of those I am close to?
