An Examen by Henri Nouwen

Did I offer peace today?

Did I bring a smile to someone’s face?

Did I say words of healing?

Did I let go of my anger and resentment?

Did I forgive? Did I love?

These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will be many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.

~ Henri Nouwen
